Wouldn't this use case be better served by NOT having such a property 
(so content authors can't set it) and using an OS that allows setting 
the scrollbar position and a UA that actually follows the OS preference?

After all, you're not asking for a CSS property that affects the 
visibility of the back button in your browser, right?  How is this case 
any different?
