I've got a rough proposal for exactly that sort of thing (I called it
"scroll-delay") here:
https://docs.google.com/a/chromium.org/document/d/1aOQRw76C0enLBd0mCG_-IM6bso7DxXwvqTiRWgNdTn8/edit.
 I personally don't see any reason why carefully engineered apps shouldn't
be allowed to opt-in to 'scroll-delay: pointermove' causing scrolling to be
synchronous with event handling.  I'd love any feedback folks have on the
proposal.
