In particular, I'm wondering why markers have this special case; it feels like an odd fit in nr-arena-shape since everything else is so generalized, and I'm wondering if there could be a way to generalize the markers so no special case is needed for them?

Perhaps that's because they really are a special case in SVG spec. Markers are shapes which are supposed to be updated and rendered with the main shape as if they are a group, but they are not regular objects and there's no real group involved. That alone is special enough, and as far as I can see, our code just reflects this. Or am I missing something?
