Mixte Frame Question

As I start to ramp up to build a mixte for my wife I thought I would tap you fellows for a bit of info.
My question today is the "diagonal" tubes that run from the HT to the rear dropout. I looked at a number of pics of mixte frames and for the most part they run straight back but some "curve" abit. So as I look at her current mixte I would like a long HT this would seem to change that "straight line" of the twin tubes going back to the rear dropout. Am I looking at a potential problem by considering a bit of a curve?
Thanks!
