Hi Robert,
If I don't put the "ip router isis" no neighbour relationship is possible over this interface. But while configuring this neighbour relationship I also add the connected network/interface to the link-state database. For a BGP network I only need loopback addresses and all other internal networks would only clutter up my ISIS table.
For instance, which interfaces are on passive? Loopback and customer interfaces. Which networks are interesting for BGP? Loopback and customer networks.
So I think that the "advertise passive-only" option is pretty nifty to separate the tasks each routing protocol is supposed to do. Too bad they didn't think sooner of it.
I don't think it's possible to set up a some sort of clns unicast neighbour statement without using the "ip router isis" command.
