The current spec[1] for the scrolling attribute of [i]frame elements does not reflect what is implemented by a majority of UAs. We intend to change Firefox to implement the behavior of IE/Chrome/Safari and would like to see the spec changed to describe that behavior. There are two major problems with the current spec: 1. mapping scrolling=yes (and synonyms) to overflow:scroll 2. the mapped overflow value being a presentational hint Only Firefox implements 1 (we intend to change that[2]). None of the four UAs mentioned implements 2. The spec should instead say that scrolling=no (and synonyms) suppress scrollbars for the [i]frame viewport, and that any other value have no effect.
