Hi Carl
I can't resist adding my tuppence-worth :)

If we want to capture semantics properly, I believe we need to
recognize that there are three different kinds of marks:
1) "jump-from" marks (D.S. al ..., D.C. al ..., To Coda)
2) "jump-to" marks (Segno, beginning of piece, coda)
3) "stop playing" marks (Fine, end of piece)
Agreed
But if we try to capture all three semantics in a single mark, our
prospective MIDI performer would need to analyze the mark to decide
which kind it was. And since we can do whatever we want with the mark
by changing the markup, it seems like we need three *different* marks.
My initial proposal if we want to go the functional route would be to
use
\depart
\join
\fine
I really don't like \depart, and as all three are marks as well as
potential semantic elements I would suggest
\gotoMark ID sign or \flowMark ID sign
\locationMark ID sign or \placeMark ID sign
\endMark sign
