Right, then fwd my 2 cents:

Makes sense to have a wrapper like that for flashing, but

 - It could/should contain an ELF

 - u-boot should be capable to just load/boot the ELF, not everybody
uses flashable images (netboot anyone ? espectially when debugging) and
it's really a burden to do the wrapping all the time. In addition, we
just see how it can actually hurt due to losing information such as the
BSS size.

Cheers,
Ben.
