You’re misinterpreting what Apple is saying there, I’m afraid: The key word is “directory” - this does not include zip files, which are not directories (even though they may compress and contain directories) but are technically single files, and not file packages (in Apple’s terminology). Pages and iWork do not save their files as packages, but as zip files, and a zip file is not a file package.

I can’t see that happening any time soon, although I have explained to Apple all the issues involved.
