I'll bite! What is the difference between a sub*domain* and a
sub*zone*?

A subdomain can be within the same zone. For as many levels of
child or
sub-domains as you want:
zone example.edu { ... }
zone system.subnet.student.class.semester.department.example.edu
{ ... }
where all intermediate subdomains are part of the example.edu zone.
A (sub)domain can also be larger than a zone. Consider the following
zones:
example.com.
lab.example.com.
dev.lab.example.com.
The "lab" domain contains the "dev" subzone as well as its own zone,
yet is also a subdomain (and a subzone) of example.com.
