I've already stated an objection, but I will repeat it: Mixxx should not be in the business of reducing track gain to "protect" the user during mixes. You mention the loudness war -- that only applies to pop songs, not to club-mastered tracks. Tracks on beatport/etc are not highly-compressed, so that is not a universally-correct assumption.
By default, I think Mixxx should output tracks at close-to-full volume, with perhaps 1 or 2 db of headroom. Not 6.
