ISTR POSIX also doesn't allow a number of features that can be turned
on with zfs (even ignoring the current issues that prevent ZFS from
being fully POSIX compliant today).  I think an additional option for
the snapdir property ('directory' ?) that provides this behavior (with
suitable warnings about posix compliance) would be reasonable.

I believe it's sufficient that zfs provide the necessary options to
act in a posix compliant manner (much like you have to set $PATH
correctly to get POSIX conforming behavior, even though that might not
be the default), though I'm happy to be corrected about this.
