We at least want to inherit font-family, right?  The simplest for specs 
would be for ::marker to inherit just like ::before does.

If there are specific web-compat concerns or use cases regarding 
text-transform, font-variant or other properties, they could be 
addressed in a UA stylesheet. For example:

   ::marker { text-transform: initial; font-variant: initial }
