Yes, anything you think should change should be filed in the Launchpad
tracker.
I've trimmed out the items I don't have a reply for.

Please post the warnings.
I don't see anywhere where this effect does any strange access to the
sodipodi full paths.

This effect is a bit of a kludge, but the solution is probably not as
simple as you imagine. Markers can be arbitrary SVG which means they may
be more than one color, may include gradients and may include patterns.
If someone was up for the task they could probably add a special flag in
the Inkscape namespace that indicates which parts of a marker should
assume the path's stroke and fill. Perhaps someone more familiar with
the territory could comment.

This extension renders an object to the SVG that is a visible grid. The
grid and guides are just editing information visible inside Inkscape. If
someone wants to draw a grid of lines nothing beats this extension.

Check the Keys and Mouse doc. I believe Shift+r does what you want.
