Thanks for pointing out other good part of having CLNS as a transport for ISIS as a security point!

It's also a potential hassle, where you can have IS-IS up and running, but have IP completely hosed. With OSPF this is harder as it actually runs over IP; no IP, no IGP adjacancy.

There is good reason why neither OSPF nor IS-IS rules the IGP world, they both have their advantages and disadvantages. Differences are usually in what the organisation is used to, not because one is fundamentally better than the other.
