Well, "allowed" may not be the right word here. The question is if it's possible in standard notation. You do occasionally see dotted and non-dotted notes on the same stem, and a qarter note and a half note head together as well.
Actually, it's easier to implement in standard notation than in abc since the rules are much more relaxed.
But I agree with Zouki: Just let that question lie for now. Seems it only derails the discussion.

Is there any problems with notation like [BAD]4 ?
If not, I think it should be included in abc 2.0. It's much easier for a human both to read and write than [B4A4D4] - which should be kept just for the sake of backwards compatibility.
