He wants to be able to set a bit on the directory that specifies such behaviour for all files in the directory. I don't see what's wrong with that.
That there isn't THE directory in which the file resides. There might be several, and setting the bit on one of them at random and expect it to work is a _lot_ of work. For no real use.
Well, if the file resides in a directory without that flag, it's not synched. The application or its installation process should take care of that. Suppose the MTA knows where it writes its queue files and which must have this flag set accordingly.
