Custom messages, tags, values. How about Custom BeginString?

Has anybody come across a BeginString which is not a standard BeginString like FIX.m.n or FIX.m.nxxx or FIXT.p.q ? If I remember correctly I once came across a FIX log of communication between a FIX engine and its Trading application (I would prefer not to name the FIX Engine / trading application both of which are from the same vendor) the messages of this log started like 8=FIX.IPC^ and had crazy tag numbers which matched none from the FPL's FIX specs.

Regards,
K. Mahesh
