To my eye, mixed case is more >attractive. It's more like natural English. I used all upper-case element and attribute names in XML: A Primer (and do so generally) because it's a lot easier to separate markup from content visually that way. Mixed case is more attractive if your document is really about the markup, but I tend to be more interested in the content. Since I'm one of those neanderthals who still does HTML and XML development by hand in a text editor (or in source code), using uppercase is much handier. It won't matter nearly as much to me when I find a program that I actually _like_ to use for markup creation. Some programs use all lower-case; I find that it doesn't stand out nearly as well for me. I don't think anyone would have a problem with your proposal; just make sure you make clear to all participants that _case matters_ when starting out on your DTD design process.
