I don't think you could have summed up what I hoped could happen any better!

I do hope that you will also consider keeping the MBR boot code in 
there.  That was I think the most difficult piece of the puzzle. 
Everything is GPT centric, but I just got a brand new little intel atom 
device that will not boot off of the default GPT install.

Thank you.  If it was not for ssh and virtual machine snapshots, I think 
I would have abandoned ZFS until it made it into the handbook or installer.

Thanks,
