The SVG image on Wikipedia doesn't show arrows on the straight line. 

The Mediawiki SVG to PNG renderer shows what it should look like. See http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/42/Ssl_handshake_with_two_way_authentication_with_certificates.svg/1949px-Ssl_handshake_with_two_way_authentication_with_certificates.svg.png

Any ideas why this is the case?

The SVG displays the arrows in InkScape. 

Reproducible: Always

Please provide a minimal testcase. I'm afraid the example is far too big to debug.

I'm not really skilled enough in SVG to give a reduced test case. Is there anyone out there who can do this?

Firefox has the correct rendering, I believe, and it renders the same in Batik.  The marker for the arrowheads that aren't rendering is #Arrow2Lend.  It just has <path> on it, with no 'fill' property.  However, the root SVG element has class="st24", and the style sheet in the document has a rule for .st24 that sets fill to 'none'.  So the marker isn't painting the fill of its path.

librsvg, or whatever it is that MedaiWiki is using, must not be applying the rules in the <style>.  The document renders just fine without it.

Whoa... sorry fellas. I followed Cameron's suggestion, and that's fixed it. 

I'll close this bug as INVALID.
