I think that this is just because Solaris 10 Update 9 is recently released and deduplication is not considered robust enough for production use yet. You are looking at a Solaris 10 document. The easy solution was to simply mask it out. The deduplication code is likely still active in Solaris 10 Update 9 zfs, even if it can't be enabled by it. No worries ...
