I'd be wary of putting a 888 on one, but a shorter DC fork should be fine.
I'm planning on a boxxer for mine at 8" travel. same angles as if you'd run a totem on it, but more travel and plushiness. that is about the longest fork I would run on that frame though.
888SL ATA: up to 584mm a2c. boxxer/totem: 568mm almost 15mm shorter. that's a big difference right there.
then again, you can lower an SL ATA, so I say slam it down to ~560-565mm A2C and go nuts.
with regard to frame strength, I don't think that the difference between a SC and DC fork will be as significant of a problem as some people on the internet say. IMO, it would seem to spread the forces out more evenly than a SC anyway, so it may even be better for the headtube.
