There's no issue with leaving the top down all the time.. the problems that arise with the top are due to lowering/raising the top.
The elastic strap tends to wear out. Every time I lower my top I make sure that the bar the elastic strap holds (right above your head) folds all the way down while I lower the top.
Also, you need to be wary of the usual wear points.

The way I see it is that Honda designed this car to be a convertible so I am sure it went through extensive testing of the up and down motion. I would assume they would test the number of cycles as opposed to time elapsed while down, so I think that it would probably wear in certain areas when down all the time.
If I ever got a hardtop I think I would reinforce areas more prone to wear when leaving the top down for the extended period.
