They are not connected concepts, Mark. I originally put in the code for lineage pairs, and also started the implementation for markers. So I can assure you that they are completely unrelated. For what it's worth, subsequent contributors have significantly improved on marker support, so I am only commenting from the viewpoint of my knowledge of the spec.
I made a few comments in my reply to Joerg. I have a degree in physics, and most of a Masters in physical oceanography. I see considerable mathematical anarchy in the XSL spec, some degree of mathematical naivete, and lots of confusion. My forte is not logic, based on my background, but even a physics guy can dissect the pseudo-logic in that spec. I think plenty of other people have also separated the wheat from the chaff as far as that document is concerned...I think we are due for a rewrite, with lots of the pretentious math excised, and replaced with plain language.
