The <zonename>: prefix would reflect the zone where the link is assigned. That can change by setting the "zone" link property (which is done at zone boot for those links that are part of the zone configuration), so this is not an install-time property. But really, this is a malleable idea at this point, as it's a result of some discussions on what would be possible and/or useful. If other models make sense, let's discuss those too. -Seb
