Agreed.  However, if you prompt them you can usually get them to agree
with anything.

Me: "Is it okay if I use your DNS servers as my primary NTP servers too?"

ISP: "Uh, NTP?  Uh, you are a customer of ours?  Then sure.  BTW, what
is NTP?"

Generally distribution infrastructure of NTP is similar to DNS and
therefore I recommend using the same DNS machines for NTP machines.
