While it's not yet widely used, X has bravely stepped forward as
a test case - you should be able to disable the doc or devel
facets and see the man pages, headers, etc. from the X consolidation
disappear.
Most of the magic in the X build to mark files with their facets is in:
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/x-cons/xnv-clone/pkg/transforms/facets
though some packages have them directly in the package manifest as well
for files that don't match the common patterns.
More consolidations should be tagging their packages with facets in the
future.
facets are a very nice pkg(5) feature, however on bad side isn't a case
of all or nothing ? or I understood it wrong ? e.g, is possible to
install package x without doc files, but only package x, leaving system
image untouched ?.
