If that happens then their and your traffic would be blackholed but only from each other unless you both use the BGP option to allow your AS in (Cisco: allowas-in). I really don't forsee everyone in the 44/8 space BGP peering with each other and only using private ASNs. I'd imagine it's going to be small groups here and there forming their own BGP clusters. Even then so, a edge BGP speaker could then strip out the private ASNs behind them when peering with someone outside of their cluster group.
