I gather that he is trying to expand his root pool, and you can not add a vdev to one. Though, true, it might be possible to create a second, data pool, in the partition. I am not sure if zfs can make two pools in different partitions of the same device though - underneath it still uses Solaris slices, and I think those can be used on one partition. That was my assumption for a long time, though never really tested.
This would be a bad assumption. Zfs should not care and you are able to do apparently silly things with it. Sometimes allowing potentially silly things is quite useful.
