Mozilla are using the prefix "-moz-" to any properties, e.g.
text-align: -moz-center;
-moz-rounded-corners: 43px;
So you could use something like -yam- or whatever:
-yam-scrollbar: left;
I believe that "-" is not a valid prefix for identifiers in CSS2, so
this is a 'safe' extension. And I believe that this is being changed
for CSS3, with exactly this in mind: allowing a way for user agents to
extend the language without clashing with future language extensions.
But I would not know. Someone from the WG will have to comment...
