I've noticed that when the Mormons or Jehovah Witnesses show up on my doorstep for a little ad hoc conversion they usually dress in suits (jacket and tie).

Hmm, as far as the Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. go. The problem there is that they're SO predictable in their appearance! They look like stereotypical bible/used-car salesmen    and so you can generally see them coming (& thus perhaps take the opportunity to avoid them?!)
If (in their specific case) they ever dressed down a bit like, in jeans & a t-shirt. I might be more inclined to believe I was getting myself into a discussion by opening my door, instead of the usual pamphlet-fest lecture! *shrug* That illustrates the difference in societal view-points right there!

My point here is that I highly doubt that there is a dress code which will uniformly impress/non-offend/whatever, everybody, everywhere.
Obviously, the answer is to stick to "infecting" the crowds you know/are comfortable in. Whether you travel in business circles and have a wardrobe consisting of Armani suits, or are a gutter-punk and 26 facial piercings, just take the opportunities for "recruitment" as they appear. It is up to you and your life-style as to whether that is over brandys at the Men's Club, or handing out stickers at your local punk-rock dive.

As for a dress code for women? Yeesh. Poll 10 people on whether dresses in an office environment should be above or below the knee, and I bet it'll be split right down the middle. Again, stick to your comfort zones!

Maybe the lesson is that you should dress like the intended audience in order to lower social barriers. I bet the more you look like them the more receptive they will be to your message.

What I don't know hurts me less than what I do.

Interesting thoughts, but I would add one more. Being "true to yourself" or at least "true to what you are peddling".

I think you can save yourself some time in communication if your audience has already some of their questions answered even before you speak.
