I can think of a scenario. I have a n disk RAID that I built with n newly purchased disks that are m GB. One dies. I buy a replacement disk, also m GB but when I put it in, it's really ( m - x ) GB. I need to shrink my zpool because it's now smaller then when I originally built it. I've gotten in the habit of not using a chunk of the disk to ensure the replacement disk will be at least as large. For 120 GB drives, I've seen maximum partitions from 110 GB to 119 GB. If my originals were 119 GB and the replacement was 110 GB, I couldn't use it as a replacement. How would ZFS handle this?
