In the SVG spec of 2000/06/29,
section 11.6 does not clearly define the following issues:

1. Color of marker
   How we determine the color of marker?
   Is the color always stroke color of referencing graphic shape?

2. Hollow marker
   In <marker> element, every shapes are defined only for filling?
   If so, we cannot make hollow marker like below:

        +--+
   -----+  |  <- square hollow marker
        +--+

3. Fill rule in marker element
   Can we specify the fill rule of the marker? 

4. Marker opacity
   How is the marker's opacity determined?
   The opacity is same value to stroke opacity of
   referencing graphic shape?
   Or, the opacity is always 100%?
