Parti's are not going to be allowed in the standard anytime soon that I can pretty much say. Just like the Poodle standard they have a DQ as well stating no parti coloreds and that is also a DQ, so it's not only the yorkie breed that doesn't accept the Parti's. Can't challenge or change the standard if you are not a member of the YTCA and the conceus within the YTCA it's not gonna happen

See the below link and read the below partial letter posted by EnchantedToi, written to her by Terri Shumsky. I don't know how true this may be but I'd like to think that non YTCA members may have a chance to change the standard in the future ...
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/2430393-post59.html The AKC Rep, Florence Males, investigated the parti colors and she found that in the 70s AKC asked the parent club education chairman, Joan Gordon, if this was a possible color and Joan told them that she had come up with a tri color from breeding two normal color yorkies.
They have been registering them as Parti colors since then. I really don’t see anything wrong with it and they could always “show” them in a Variety class like other breeds do when the colors are consistent. Florence told me that if enough of them are bred that AKC would “tell” the parent club that they have to accept a “variety”.
