I haven't quite grokked the original thread completely, but the above statement isn't true. You can _always_ use /etc/dfs/dfstab to share whatever directories you want. The "zfs set sharenfs=XXX" syntax is just a simplified interface for managing shares, and has the beneficial side effect that such options are kept with your data (in the case of import/export, for example). There will always be things you may want to do (such as sharing it under a different name, or sharing subdirectories of a filesystem) which will exceed the capabilities of this simplified interface.
