Bug Description

Continuation of bug 417597.

Inkscape does not draw the mid-markers on the ends of sub-paths as per the SVG spec. The spec states:

'marker-start' defines the arrowhead or polymarker that shall be drawn at the first vertex of the given 'path' element or basic shape. 'marker-end' defines the arrowhead or polymarker that shall be drawn at the final vertex. 'marker-mid' defines the arrowhead or polymarker that shall be drawn at every other vertex (i.e., every vertex except the first and last).

Mid-markers should be drawn on every vertex except the first and last of a 'path', thus mid-markers should be drawn on the ends of sub-paths except where the end corresponds to an end of a path. Firefox, Opera, and Batik all agree with this interpretation.

A test SVG file is attached. This test file should replace that submitted in bug 417597 (it covers both cases and it has been cleaned up).

how should this path be rendered with start mid and end markers?
"M0,0 M100,0 M200,0 M300,0"
(a moveto-only path)

"M0,0 M100,0 M200,0 M300,0"
I'm coding it to render this as: start marker - mid marker - mid marker - end marker

Minor issue: If mid marker and end marker overlap
- Inkscape r22540+patch draws mid marker on top
- Batik 1.7, Firefox 3.5.3 renders end marker on top of mid marker
- exported PDF draws end marker on top of mid marker

attaching modified test case from bug #452568 (Caveat: this SVG has a manually added 'viewBox' attribute… I was experimenting because the original drawing was to tiny when rendered in Firefox or Batik and not re-sizeable)
