While for filter, there exist some filter adapters specially designed for the Nikon 14-24mm. But of course you need to buy the extra adapters.
Consider the price of the Zeiss 21mm F2.8, I guess the Zeiss 15mm F2.8 will be much much more expensive than the Nikon 14-24mm F2.8.

You are right, of course, that a Nikon 12-24mm f2.8 has some advantages. It AF's, it offers zoom flexibility, and most probably is cheaper.
The Zeiss has advantages too. It will be less prone to impact damage, with its hood protecting the lens. It will be usable with ND filters. It will have less problems with light sources wreaking havoc.
So, while for you the choice will be the zoom, there will be some who rather would choose the Zeiss. If of course it is a good lens <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />
