Apologies for being vague. What I mean is, for example, EGPH has two  
ILS-equipped runways - 06 and 24, but no marker beacons defined at  
all. KSFO has some, but for example, 28L has an OM, while 2R has MM  
and IM, but no outer. (in nav.dat)

I've just checked my SimCharts, and apparently neither EGPH approach  
plate includes any markers, so presumably the data is right, and the  
issue is entirely my fault, for thinking that marker beacons were a  
mandatory part of an ILS setup, when they are apparently installed on  
a case-by-case basis, and not necessarily as complete sets of OM/MM/ 
IM, which again I had naively assumed.
