Yes, this is possible, but it's annoying because the actual owning zone isn't stored with the dataset (nor should it be). We'd have to grovel around every zone's configuration file, which is certainly doable, just annoying. In addition, it's possible (though not recommended) to have a single dataset in multiple zones. The only real use case would be a read-only, unmounted dataset whose snapshots could serve as a clone source for other delegated datasets. Since this is extremely rare, it would probably suffice to have a special string like "(shared)" to indicate that it is being shared between multiple zones.
