Re: [csswg-drafts] [cssom-view] New feature - scroll-boundary-behavior (an extension of -ms-scroll-chaining)

Thanks for the feedback.

> across multiple (but maybe not all?) engines, this decision is made

 needs to account for differences somehow.

We can actually leave when the decision is made unspecified and leave 
it up to UA implementation. I More below.

I can confirm this is indeed the case in Gecko for keyboard (tested on
 Linux).

I think this is reasonable. I don't believe we need to have all UAs 
agree on which inputs and exactly when (per-pixel or per-gesture) they
 chain the scroll. All main usecases that need this feature actually 
care about a consistent method to *prevent* the default chaining as 
opposed to forcing chaining to happen for a particular input or at a 
particular time. 

Here is one way we can spec this to achieve the above without taking 
away the UA flexibility in deciding when to chain.

* Replace 'propagate' with 'auto'. So we don't prescribe what is the 
default boundary behavior and leave it up to UA. This also addresses 
the spelling concern with 'propagate'.
* Keep 'none' and 'contain' as they are. They simply prevent the 
default behavior which is propagation.
