Rules - Goalkeeper taking Penalty stroke?

Just a matter of interest, why aren't they allowed to cross the half way?? I
recently saw a very funny incident where a keeper actually did get sent off
for breaking this rule!! A few players almost followed him for complaining
so much as well!!

I think it is just to limit the advantage attacking teams have on short
corners after half/full time.
