Hmm, this might bug. One example I can think of: paths with only one point do get markers rendered; does a path inherit style from its parent? Perhaps it is better to add an Inkscape-specific connector attribute?
Interestingly the SVG draft spec says that markers are desirable; although direction was a concern.
Using a different element, like the point elements from the draft, wouldn't be a problem. It's the same solution with a distinctive name.
But using a connector attribute is not good. They break the distinction between on-canvas 'things' and the properties of those things. As well as being out of scope for transformations, styles and other desirable features such as canvas points.
