Are you sure about this?  I'm certainly not experienced with ACLs, but
the man page I'm looking at explains it like this:

Sounds a little more like wget's -I option, eg. that it reads from a
file for the input, rather than STDIN.

Having said that, I'm actually not sure how to do different things for
the dirs vs the files using setfacl alone.  It might take a "find" like
Stuart was recommending.
