We already have those, as long as the endpoint is in a filesystem location
visible to both zones.   See for instance LSARC 2008/506, in which X11 clients
in TX labeled zones connect to the Unix domain socket listener opened by the
X server in the global zone.   (There was a bug for quite a while preventing
cross-zone communication across Unix domain sockets, but as discovered during
LSARC 2008/506, that was a bug, since the original Zones case specified they'd
just work [1].)
