There's a lot of interesting things that could be done with the power down tax. I don't feel a power up tax though is right at least not yet. We want people powering up so leave that option free in my opinion. Perhaps later on as the platform becomes better known and people better understand it then would be the time but we are already having growth issues.
That being said I'm curious if a 5% divided and 5% burn would be good? Or any ratio of the 10% 8% divide 2% burned. How would that play with the value. It seems like we need to curve the APR rates a bit as there's a lot of liquid hive floating around which keeps prices down.
It could in theory even be split up in 3 ways. Divided to community (should the be highest) a small burn and a small DAO fund to help continue development and fuel growth of the chain.
Lots and lots of options and cool things that could be done. I don't see them fitting in this upcoming Hard fork however still important to talk about now so we are ready for the next hard fork.

I agree with not having the power up tax at this point. All incentive should go to those who stay powered up from this I think, as while the burn is attractive as is the dao, I reckon this would be more effective to attract powering up of stake, which could make a significant difference.
I don't think this would be considered for the next HF, as I am pretty sure they are close to locking now.
Instead of a direct power up tax, I think an indirect power up tax should be considered. For instance, newly powered up Hive does not collect from the tax pool for say 90 days, or some length of time that everyone agrees on or that is a witness setting. It benefits current Hive Power holders because the tax that would have went to the new Hive power will go to them instead, which is basically the power up tax in reverse. The pain is not felt at the power up though so it doesn't seem as bad to me.
This would be interesting too, but perhaps not very attractive for new investors?
I don't understand the point of burning tokens.
What about funding the pool for projects instead?
