On a side note.. Since RFC1930 has already been quoted couple of times here as the Best Current Practice even valid today..

an excerpt 

"BGP (Border Gateway Protocol, the current de facto standard for inter-AS routing; see [BGP-4]), and IDRP (The OSI Inter-Domain Routing Protocol, which the Internet is expected to adopt when BGP becomes obsolete; see [IDRP]). It should be noted that the IDRP equivalent of an AS is the RDI, or Routing Domain Identifier."

I would say that it seems reasonable that if you're claiming that
you're going to multihome in the "immediate future" that you would
know the ASNs with whom you were going to peer.

If it was more of a "Well at some point we might want to multihome",
then you might not know the ASN.  But in those situations RFC1930 says
that you should be using a private AS until such time as you are
closer to peering.
