Nice.  I hadn't noticed that yet.  But even then, if follow the use of
-R in relation to send, it appears the -R flag pulls everything behind
the targeted snapshot.

So in the example where each level has a .zfs directory:
 /rmh/host1/someproj/Acollection
 /rmh/host2/someproj/Acollection

A snapshot send with -R flag from:

   /rmh/host1/someproj/Acollection/.zfs <HERE
and from:
   /rmh/host2/someproj/Acollection/.zfs <HERE

Would be required to get the whole thing sent... Is that right?
