I can't speak to that question. I suggest that you file a separate
enhancement request for it. If it turns out that it is trivial then
the two bugs can be merged - I don't have any objection to being
able to use Dired (completely) for archives.
But no, it is not just a question of producing an ls-style listing.
The various Dired operations available currently expect a file as
target.
