Surrounds can be mounted up high, but I wouldn't install mains there. I'd prefer the mains to be around the same height as the screen.
The issue to me is more one of maintaining the illusion of reality. We don't expect things to look like they're in front of us but sound like they're above us. That makes the sight and sound not match. Again, this isn't so much the case with surrounds as it is with mains. Surrounds are usually placed above the listeners and the soundtrack associated is designed for this position.

We've had this argument over and over with a friend of mine who insists on having the speakers on the same level as the mains. I prefer to have my speakers slightly above the ground, but at a realistic height. They are less likely to encounter any faults. The mains are always near the screen.
