That still works for "Fine" and "D.C. al fine" which must be right-aligned 
with the barline, but is usually on the topmost stave. Bottom line is we 
have a system that works for them, considering how flexible it needs to be 
anyway to cover all cases. The only generalization that we could make would 
be a version of \mark that right-aligns, allows markup of the last bar of a 
score, and uses a smaller font size by default (with a slightly smaller 
padding as well) than \mark uses.
