    It actually makes sence to me. Particularly when reading out loud. To know it's a question in advance must surely be a better option than to find out at the end of the sentence.
    I have seen some scripts for different things where next to the charicter name, it would note tone for the line- for example:
    John (Question) You are going to the cinema?

    I think this is to allow the actor to know what tone to use when they read the line
    Plan for the worst, hope for the best
