Perhaps this is due to the fact that someone using a keyboard can not 
easy scroll the page and the overflowed scrolled sub-areas (which are 
really boxes with overflow:auto) and switch between them. The focus 
either has to be on the viewport or the overflowed scrolled sub-areas 
and this focus has to be changed to scroll either one.

This is an accessibility issue.
