An inductor in parallel with a tweeter, without a series capacitor,
would be seen by the amp as a short at low frequencies. A cap in
series with a woofer would roll off the low frequencies.

Agreed, and that leaves some non-simple problems to solve.

AFAIK the very few commercial designs with an inductor in parallel with the
tweeter use a tweeter that is more efficient than the woofer, and put a
resistor in series with the inductor/tweeter combination. Still not a pretty
picture.
