Because yaffs does not  support them at present. I can see though that there 
is a need and I will add support for these.

It is relatively straight forward to add "special" support to yaffs. 
Basically it just needs handling for new ObjectHeader types. That's all that 
is needed since these specials don't require data support or anything - just 
headers.
