Thanks Phil.  (and others who replied).  I could swear when we first peered
with these ISPs, we were seeing EF and AF31 coming from the VoIP carrier
(SIP trunks and ATA/phones).  Guess one of the ISPs noticed that somewhere
along the way.

Net Neutrality means everyone gets marked as zero on ingress into the
network.  If you have a specific contract with the provider maybe things
operate differently, but then you start getting into preferential treatment
of traffic...

No providers preserve incoming markings for normal Internet traffic, unless
their routers are misconfigured.
