One potential problem - you level up when you sleep, and sometimes it's nice not to level up for a few days even when you've got the XP

You want hardcore mode, just crank up the difficulty setting in options. I put it to max in Oblivion and nearly got 1 shotted as a Nord Warrior blocking with a shield by a zombie.
Only if it's managed better than FO:NV's was. By that, I mean that I don't want to just be filling arbitrary bars - essentially health meters that decrease over time - I want a real reason to tuck into some food, or get roaring drunk.
Also, this being Skyrim, I think that the warmth could be an awesome factor in this mode. If you find a bandit's campfire out in the wildreness, you have a real reason to stick around and sleep there. You think twice about crossing an icy river to get to the other side, because you're going to come out absolutely freezing. Stuff like that...
So long as it's creative and not simply an arbitrary sort of challenge, then I'm happy.

you know? I actually think I would enjoy hardcore mode in Skyrim MORE than I did in New Vegas, I mean I know Fall Out is all about surviving in a post apocalyptic waste land but one of my favorite things to do in Oblivion was to try and be social type character who didn't fight himself (sneak, illusion, summoning, restoration, persuasion, barter.) hardcore mode would make this pretty interesting, I've always wanted my baskets of different kinds of foods in my fully decked houses to serve a purpose.
Skyrim should have a hardcore mode, kinda like New Vegas did. In New Vegas it was great, it added a bit of difficulty to the game and raised immersion, especially how your companions could die. It wasn't that hard to carry some food and water with you, and there are already beds everywhere you need them, and the consequences of neglecting them added a new dimension to the game.
Nothing pisses me off more in Skyrim than getting talked down to by some character and thinking, "I'm the dragon born *****! Taste my boot!". Then I attack that person, and they fall down, catch their breath and continue attacking me. What the hell? In Morrowind, nobody gave me shit at the end of the game, and lived. Since all the little girlies would hate to hafta reload their game (which is now saved like every freaking four minutes), there should be a manly mode for those of use who "don't take no shit".
Hardcore mode should take off all the little safety devices that bethesda's day care center put in the game and let me mess some stuff up. You know, make mistakes and experience the story a little more deeply. It should also turn off fast travel, cuz some of the best experiences in the elder scrolls universe are the roads to objectives, but fast traveling is too tempting an option for most, and it also breaks immersion a bit, especially when there used to be mage guides, silt striders, and now carriages.
Hardcore mode would give a reason for all those inns and meat salesmen in the land, and the system was not that hard to grab a hold of.
