ZFS version 28 is the correct version.  Once the doc tree is tagged
(scheduled for today), this can be fixed.  Thanks for pointing this out.

Last I was aware, version 30 is closed-source and owned by Oracle.
Unless they release the source as Sun was doing, I doubt we will have
ZFS version 30.  (I would be happy to be told this is not true, though -
I'd love to have ZFS encryption as well.)
