marker useHtml, allow custom class, or allow text in marker
I would like to have a numbered marker in my scatter plot.
The only way I can currently figure out how to do this is to use custom numbered images for each one. It is difficult to maintain as the result set keeps growing.
I can't use dataLabels with negative coordinates as I use regular dataLabels for my markers as well.
Even if I could just assign a custom class to the image then I could use a sprite and adjust the positioning as needed via css.

One way of achieving it could be to create a duplicate series so that you can have one data label for the actual point, and one for the regular data label: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/kvjs3trf/
