I don't really see anything wrong with it.

It's always been a rule in No Limit, which to be honest I don't quite understand either..I have always thought it was just made not to piss other players off who wanted to get their money back.

In limit this is much less of an issue as their is capped betting per round. It sometimes is frustrating to play with someone who is short stacked but I don't think its a big enough deal to disallow it.

As for an advantage..I just don't see it, unless you're some preflop genius who doesn't know how to play postflop and just wants to shove them in anytime you get AK or whatnot...I don't see having a shortstack being +EV in limit, if anything its -EV because you will be forced "all-in" and you don't have the ability to but as many bets in as you want.
