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.
