However, the user or group quota is applied when a clone or a snapshot is created from a file system that has a user or group quota."applied to a clone" I understand what that means, "applied to a snapshot" - not so clear does it mean enforced on the original dataset?
Since snapshots can not be modified, you're right that "applying" user quotas to snapshots doesn't make any sense. However, the user/group quota/used is recorded in the snapshot, and the values (including user quotas) are the values at the time the snapshot was taken. Contrast that with other properties (eg, quota, exec), where the snapshot does not have its own value for those properties; it just applies the filesystem's current value.
