PLIIz doesn't have to be 9.1, although it can be used in addition to PLIIx to get there. It is offered on the AV7005, which is limited to 7.1 output. What most of the PLIIz and DSX implementations offered so far have done is allowed either back surrounds or or front height output, but not both at once.
