I strongly recommend not to use -H/-L/-P for for other porsuses than what POSIX
describes for utililties that deal with directory trees.
zfs(1M) is not a POSIX utility and likely never will be so POSIX rules
just don't apply.
More importantly there is existing precedence for -H in zfs(1M) already:
-H
Used for scripting mode. Do not print headers and
separate fields by a single tab instead of arbitrary
white space.
