Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow][css-overflow-4][proposal] Define the scrollable area of an element (#3428)

@tantek I'm quite confident that @andyearnshaw is requesting ability to style controls, specifically the placement of controls, which is much more to do with the css-scrollbars spec.

- > Because of how scrollbars automatically take up 100% of the available height or width of an element, you can't limit them to the area that will actually change if you move those bars.
- > The idea I had for this was just to define a new property, e.g. scroll-area that allows you to set the rectangle for the intersecting scrollable area, so that the scrollbars don't overlap non-scrollable areas on their respective axis.

I think the "non-scrollable areas" mentioned are just areas where fixed or sticky positioned elements always remain in view of the scrollport.
