Indeed, for example using a '::scrolling-mechanism' pseudo-element which
would allow binding to a behavioural resource. As in:
sidebar::scrolling-mechanism {
binding: url(scrollbars.xml);
}
...or:
sidebar::scrolling-mechanism {
binding: native-scrolling-mechanism;
}
This could come out of the CSS-based user interface work.
