I don't think there is a standard, but there definitely is some sort of convention. If you see a design with a diode and some sort of marking, then your best bet is that the marked side is a Cathode.
I tend to follow the Diode Marking GuidelinesDiode Marking Guidelines from Screaming Circuits and place a little diode symbol next to my diodes. Only in very tight layouts I will revert to a "dot" to mark the cathode.
