Actually it is. From RFC 1700 ("Assigned Numbers")
(a) {0, 0}
This host on this network. Can only be used as a source
address (see note later).
which RFC 3330 ("Special-Use IPv4 Addresess" expands as
0.0.0.0/8 - Addresses in this block refer to source hosts on "this"
network. Address 0.0.0.0/32 may be used as a source address for this
host on this network; other addresses within 0.0.0.0/8 may be used to
refer to specified hosts on this network [RFC1700, page 4].
Cheers!
