If, in some hypothetical court, you could sue the YTCA for recognition, what would you offer as proof to your claim? I see 3 things:
1. Vague historical mentions of 'off colored' Yorkies.
2. Mars DNA profile, with its own disclaimer on the certificate.
3. AKC DNA profile, establishing parentage only.
Do you really think you would prevail? I think not and, IMO, the YTCA has already gone too far in calling the Parti merely a DQ. They should probably have said something like there is not enough evidence to establish the Parti as a pure bred Yorkie at this time.
What's really disturbing is the intention to deliberately put carriers in the ring. This does nothing to better the breed but only serves to corrupt the breed. It's an end-around the DQ.
Maybe the YTCA should make it a DQ for any dog with a Parti in its pedigree. With your stated intentions, which is probably shared by at least some others, the breed is in need of further protection.
