I see. Well, it is different from what I meant, and a standardized
protocol is good for interop and interface (sometime...) ;)

On a side note, you can always make ZFS snapshots via filesystem
interface "mkdir $dataset/.zfs/snapshot/$snapname" over both NFS
and CIFS (at least kCIFS) as well as locally, as long as your user
has proper ZFS delegated permissions. Removing is trickier, since
tools insist on only deleting empty directories, and somehow they
fail to delete contents of a read-only snapshot... bummer ;)
