But can do I clear the mark log? (Unmarking highlights doesn't seem to do it, nor does deleting markkit cookies AFAICT). Very nice bookmarklet! But can do I clear the mark log?

I don't think a plain coder is a suitable person to do security. And if he does, he has to be focused on that. because security depends on context. what is secure in a certain context, is not in another. what is secure for me, is not for you. moreover, what is secure now, will maybe not tomorrow. it’s more like a feeling than anything else. it depends on risk, which of course can be empirically evaluated. but evaluating risk, as a task, has nothing to do with code. it has more to do with sociology, geopolitics… something like that.

I beg to differ, however, on the freedom aspect of coding. What about performance and other non-functional requirements that constrain software development? Separation of concern isn´t possible in these cases either and developers are required keep them in mind during development. When a product isn´t performing well, developers and designers are held accountable. Why should it be any different for security? Interesting thoughts.
