Canon is canon -- the heavy insinuations are there -- Draco has a Dark Mark. (That's my read of it, and it won't change from Pottermore or anything else she says about it.) That said, if fanfic writers want to play with him not having one, that's cool, of course. Anything goes in fanfic. But I prefer him having one, too, for all the reasons you said. And I *believe* he has one. I think a good writer could make a good case that he doesn't, but since that's not my preference, they'd have to make it great. ;-)

Edit: I should probably say that I've had NO COFFEE. The coffee maker broke. So I think I'm a bit...prickly in my response. I agree with the others that there's intentional ambiguity, but my own personal read is that he really does have one.
Now I'll toddle off before I Hulk out for no reason. O_o
