CSS could provide a chrome styling selector mechanism, but not the 
actual selectors.  Meaning that CSS could define a general mechanism for 
selecting the chrome, and implementations could follow this mechanism 
for defining their own pseudo-elements for things like scrollbars.

For example, something like:

html::chrome::chromeElement {background-color:black;color:white;}

(or some better syntax)

and leave the allowed values for chromeElement up to UAs.  The group 
could offer some non-normative suggestions for chromeElement names in 
widely used cases.
