Clarification on non-scaling stroke and markers

www-svg,

I'm looking for clarification on non-scaling strokes and markers. Does
vector-effect=non-scaling-stroke on a path apply to its markers?

It looks like SVG 2 will be the first version of the spec supporting both
markers and non-scaling-stroke. I think it's least surprising to include
markers as part of the stroke so that they will be affected by
non-scaling-stroke. The marker spec hints otherwise: "*Properties inherit
into the 'marker' element from its ancestors; properties do not inherit
from the element referencing the 'marker' element*", which seems to say
that markers do not inherit the stroke element's non-scaling-property.

Markers: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/single-page.html#painting-Markers
Non-scaling-stroke:

Thank you,
Philip
