dired-marked is font-lock based face (used in `dired-font-lock-keywords').
compilation-error is indirectly font-lock based face as well (used via
`compilation-mode-font-lock-keywords').  So I think for these faces it is
appropriate to inherit from font-lock-warning-face.  Other faces have
nothing to do with font-lock-warning-face, so inheriting from a new face
`warning' would be good for easy customization.
