It would violate acl semantics.  I could link a file from a directory
where I only have 'l' access into a directory where I have 'rl' access
and then be able to read the file.  Or I could link it into a
directory where I have 'write' access and change the file.  Which
directory ACL is to be believed if you allow cross-directory links?
