sure, some things i found:

"An easy way to implement zones is to use a separate ZFS file system as the zone root's backing store."
-> going by the error messages i got, this is mandatory. seems to be mentioned later on that page under 
"Fixing zone installation issues"

"Due to the strong isolation between zones, sharing a file system must be done with traditional file 
sharing methods"
-> not true for the global zone.

"Usually this is a VNICs"
-> remove the last s

"a virtual adapter with own MAC address, that operate as if"
-> a virtual adapter with its own MAC address, that operates as if

"Zone creation consists of two steps - creating zone configuration and zone installation or cloning"
-> Zone creation consists of two steps: zone configuration and zone installation or cloning

"Zone configuration is performed using zonecfg tool, zone administration (for example, installation) is 
performed using zoneadm tool."
-> Zone configuration is performed using the zonecfg tool. Zone administration (for example, 
installation) is performed using the zoneadm tool.

"For example, we create a simple zone with shared networking model"
-> For example, here we create a simple zone with a shared networking model

"zonecfg break different resource groups of data, you add a new resource with add"
-> zonecfg comprises different resource groups. You can add a new resource with add

"The next block adds ressource "net", configuring network in default shared ip-type mode"
-> The next block adds the resource "net", configuring the network in default shared ip-type mode

and so on but i guess you didn't want me to check the grammar. in general the author seems to have a 
dislike for "a" and "the".

one issue i ran into a couple of times is that everytime the installation failed and i fixed the 
reported error, running install again did not work anymore. and running uninstall came up with an error 
as well. not sure anymore what it was exactly but i used zonecfg's "delete -F" and just pasted the 
create block again.
other than that i think the zone docs are fine content wise.
