I would suggest to allow lookups when the user can read the file. The x
bit should remain for exec on file objects, because console would be
pain when every file must have a exec bits to access meta data.
When the user can read a file, i don't think that the meta data can be
security risk, he has already access to the file.
And therefor not write access to file/metas without +w.

No, its not perfect, but i think more unix like than +x for lookups on
files.
