I suspect that what you are asking for is already covered:
* You must be able to move the content focus to any
enabled element. Whether you consider the scrolled
element as part of the same or different viewport,
checkpoint 9.1 as written covers what you're asking
for.
* If you are talking about operating the scrollbars
themselves through the keyboard, that's covered
by checkpoint 1.1.
Does this sound correct?
