Okay, after all the comments here and on a.b.p.w I've decided this
might not be such a great idea after all. Still think it would look
great. I'll be using quarter sawn oak for the doors (maybe). Have to
think of something else that will be visually different. Doors will
have a kind of 'craftsman style' look. Considered m/t with a
contrasting square pin but I see that done a lot.

I believe doing the dovetail rail and stile joint would be even weaker
on the ends of QS material...

Someone mentioned doing an inlay "butterfly" - I think that could look
quite nice in a contrasting wood. You also might consider doing the ends
with a standard mortise/tenon, use the butterfly there and then do your
true dovetails on the center joints.

Here's a quick pic of dovetails in the middle of a rail:
