Hi Harold,
markers or reel boundaries are only offered as possible time references when manually setting cues. That is, if you program a house light cue into your SPL, you may enter a manual tc, or select a marker if the CPL contains such.
See this screenshot: http://www.film-tech.com/uploads/uploads0503/WhatsAppImage2018-03-12at3.00.18PM.jpg
So, there is no risc that markers inadvertently create unwanted cues. There is no automatism in place yet. Of course, certain TMS may sooner or later (or yet) support markers for automatic SPL/cue generation in their SPL generator modules. I guess they should be smart enough to disable this for preshow content, in case someone actually puts markers into trailers accidentally . Of course, in general it is not a good idea to have markers in trailers or ads.
Only the very latest server software releases support that marker feature.
In the case of intermissions, e.g. the Dolby DSS servers support the placement of intermissions on reel boundaries, but again, only as a manual option. It is just an aid when setting up the intermission cues. With intermission markers, these could be another source.
As the majority of content delivered in germany is still interop, I have not come across CPL markers in real life DCPs.
