Jerone, yes this is the cause, but it has disavantages. If you have a USB stick with two partitions (ext3 and vfat in my case) and I DDed one partition, then I can't use this partition until I dded another time this partition (the partition become read-only).
If .iso is provided, then we could use unetbootin (that does not have this behaviour; we could add files to the partition).
For the other hand .iso could be useful for people who have external cd drive that could be attached to netbooks.

So +1 for this.
