What "compels" ISPs to filter 0.0.0.0/255.255.255.255 from their
peers and not to announce it to their peers?

I believe Paul Vixie is having a BOF at NANOG to discuss best practices
between ISPs.  And now that I don't operate a network, I've thought
about publishing my full peering agreement as a template.
