I'm struggling to see any reason why you shouldn't, although it's not ideal for preservation... Will that web space still exist if the author leaves the institution? But Wiley can't get you for having metadata and you can link to what you like. It's clumsy, and in the unlikely event that everyone did it, no doubt they would simply change their policy and prevent any archiving, if their aim is to prevent green OA. Also you would depend on authors and have very little control over the documents.
