How to style line features with an arrowhead at either end? Preferably
using SLD, other methods are welcome if SLD does not support that.

I found this thread on the subject:
http://www.nabble.com/Directional-Symbology-td12231197.html

...but it does fully answer the question. 

Given a line feature type with a LineSymbolizer, if I define an
additional PointSymbolizer for that type, where do the point symbols get
placed? At the first vertex, the last, somewhere in the middle of the
line?

Do I have to create an additional point feature just to position the
arrow icon on a line feature?

And of course it is not enough to place an arrowhead icon at the
endpoint of a line, you want the arrowhead to be correctly oriented.

I'm thinking of something like

                    <sld:LineSymbolizer>
                        <sld:Stroke>
                            <sld:CssParameter name="arrow-direction">
                                <ogc:Literal>backward</ogc:Literal>
                            </sld:CssParameter>
                            <sld:CssParameter name="arrow-head">
                                <ogc:Literal>double</ogc:Literal>
                            </sld:CssParameter>
                        </sld:Stroke>
                    </sld:LineSymbolizer>


where 

  arrow-direction = none|forward|backward|bothways

  arrow-head = simple|double|filled|...

and maybe you want an additional tag for placing the arrows either at
the endpoint of the line or in the middle.
