I agree with labeling them as such but not marking the actual card. From my experience card doctoring has advanced to levels frequently beyond the capability of most graders. At this point, it would be up to their individual interpretation...which is somewhat in doubt at times.
How many times has a collector had a card known not to be altered, be rejected? I for one would not want that card forever labeled with any invisible type mark.
