How specific do we want to get? I can see the benefit of splitting out the various apache directories, but those decisions might be better made by the appliance team. Creating a webserver would have different dataset requirements from creating a NAS box, for example. I believe we should stick to the most basic config for the default Solaris installer. Certainly it should allow the admin to create whataever datasets might be desired, but we should keep it simple for the default case. I've heard arguments for /tmp and /var/tmp. Your point about /var/crash is a good one. /opt and /usr have also been given good reasons. That's six already, including root.
