I think the best way to get HFS+ is to compile it by your self by setting the right Kernel Parameter.
Why it's not implemented, well I think ext3 and fat32 is the usual standard, that almost everybody has. If every Filesystem should be implemented ......
I think you should better by a small tidy PC for this, the flash rom at this devices are not that big to keep every feature in it.
To get to your question about a chance, I don't think so. Since most of us are PC-Users:
Linux can read and write FAT32
Windoose can at least read with an extra driver ext32
So for those who know what Linux is will probably format with ext32, the others will use fat32 to switch the USB-Drive between Windows and the WL*** device.

or can I add HFS+ support by myself? if yes, how?
cheers, thomas.
ps: searching the forum with =< 3 chars (like hfs, mac, osx etc.) gives a zero search result in the forum.... so maybe there is already an answer, but i was unable to find it
