I gather that he is trying to expand his root pool, and you can

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.
