I'm not convinced by the V shape. It really looks too exotic to me. But what about a multi-colored circle (your left drawing) and a cross below it (svg attached)?

Hi! Thaks for your work in this useful extension. I'd like to know if you considered applying the marks to a selection (using the bbox rectangle as limit) as an option. Applying the marks to the artwork area is fine, but in certain situations you need to use the paper area as a container for several originals (for instance, placing front and rear of a brochure in a same document). Of course there's an easy workaround, and it only takes to create a document sized as one of the originals and reuse the crop marks in the other, but crop marks to selection would be very useful anyway. I've just read a previous comment, and the author of the "cut marks" extension offers you to join forces and work together. Your extension looks more polished than the other, but it already has the feature I mention (using the selection's bbox as area for the crop marks). It would be nice to add that to your extension.
Another interesting feature would be using guides as placeholders for fold or die-punch marks.
About the registration marks discussion, I also find the V shapes too exotic. Generally I only see superposed circles with crosses in C, M, Y and K channels. However, I don't see anything wrong with using both. The circles with crosses on the corners, and the V shapes on the middle. What do you think?
