This explains something I have been struggling with. I knew about the
default advertisement and clns on the interface, but I was unaware of the
need for an L2 adjacency for the advertisement of the default route.

Please clarify/validate my statement....... An L1/L2 router will not set the
ATT bit unless it has formed and adjacency with another L2 router?

A default route is automatically generated by the L1/L2 router when it has
established an adjacency with another L2 router. Once the L2 adjacency is
created, the L1/L2 router knows that the backbone area is reachable and can
default L1 traffic into it. No need to use "default-information originate".

  I'm only using "ip router isis" on the interfaces, so I doubt that "clns
router isis" is needed either.

HTH,
Craig
