We already have those, as long as the endpoint is in a filesystem location visible to both zones. See for instance LSARC 2008/506, in which X11 clients in TX labeled zones connect to the Unix domain socket listener opened by the X server in the global zone. (There was a bug for quite a while preventing cross-zone communication across Unix domain sockets, but as discovered during LSARC 2008/506, that was a bug, since the original Zones case specified they'd just work [1].)
