one friend asked me if it is possible to have start, middle and end markers coloured. The UI aparently only allows black markers. Then I looked at the svg xml and noticed that markers declarations are quite flexible. Is it only my impression, or we can indeed use as markers absolutly anything that is valid svg ?
I would propose that a color-selection button is placed to the right of each of the marker combo-boxes. (maybe even 2: one for marker-fill and one for marker-stroke)

Yes. In particular, the geometry used for markers can itself have markers.
There is a known issue if markers that automatically pick up the fill or stroke style are desired; that will be fixed in 1.2 with vector effects.

I wrote this effect for editing markers:

but it would be much nicer integrated into the core ui ;-)
(works in .45, not current devel., but I'm fixing it)
