Other Reasons for Odd Markings along Veins??

I have a dark colored host which has odd markings along the a number of veins on one leaf. Is there anything besides Hosta Virus X that could cause such a thing. Because this is a dark hosta, the markings are difficult to show up in a photograph, however there is no question that they are there. Any suggestions?

Cold damage, frost damage, sun damage, nutrient deficiency, overwatering, underwatering, spring burn... I've looked at a lot of leaves for people now and these come up again and again. Without a clear picture (or a leaf in hand) it would be impossible to know, but these are the other reasons for odd coloring.

Feel free to send some off to me if you want and I'll be happy to look.
