Folks,
Here is the text from BGP-4 specs that I think is
relevent to the NEXT_HOP discussion:

"A BGP speaker must never advertise an address of
a neighbor back to that neighbor as a NEXT_HOP, for a route
that the speaker is originating. A BGP speaker must never
install a route with itself as a next hop."

(The full BGP-4 document, bgp.txt, is available via anonymous
FTP from ftp.cisco.com).
