           Summary: SPACE key scrolling when no element is focused, is
                    targetet at <html> - and not at <body>

The following definition is either incorrect or impresice:

]]
  when no element is focused, key events received by
  the document must be targeted at the body element.
]]

If the above statement was true, then for the following demo-document, to press
the SPACE key would start to scroll the <body> element - however as a matter of
fact, nothing happens:

data:text/html;charset=UTF-8,<!DOCTYPE html><html
tabindex="-1"><style>html{height:100px;overflow:scroll;border:inset red
1em;width:95%;margin:auto;text-align:center;}body{height:100px;overflow:scroll;margin:0;border:inset
orange 1em;}html:before
{content:"<html>";line-height:1;padding:0;font-size:200px;}body:before
{content:"<body>";line-height:1;padding:0;font-size:200px;}</style><body
tabindex="1

The correct thing to say should EITHER be that when no element is focused, then
key  events are directed at <html>, OR the spect should ad an exception for
scrolling events.
