The fact that some filesystems include "." and ".." in the readdir() output does not make these entries required by POSIX. In 1990, my "WOFS" did already make a directory a special zero byte sized file with link count "1" and readdir() does not return "." or ".." with WOFS. The ZFS people decided to fake "." and "..", but this is not required.
