You can safely ignore it if you are for instance using the top down config sync method in zones.d (which takes care of virtually mapping the zones directory to that zone attribute). Specifying that manually requires advanced knowledge and probably only makes sense with checkable objects (hosts, services, as mentioned in the distributed monitoring docs). The documentation table lists it just because we are documenting any attribute made available to the user, either via config object type in static config files, or inside the REST API.
