Just to add to what Shankar mentioned, in our particular case, we only use IS-IS to carry our infrastructure and Loopback addresses. ALL customer prefixes (either from their own blocks or assigned from ours) are maintained in iBGP. We hold full BGP tables on most of our edge routers. We don't run BGP in the core (core is based on MPLS forwarding), and the core are L1/L2 IS's strung together. Ignoring the ATT bit ensures we do not send traffic to destinations BGP might not know about, only to drop it "higher up" in the network. Moreover, since we use IS-IS only for infrastructure and Loopback address reachability, those routes are specifically carried within the network - so no need for a default route. Cheers, Mark.
