So IOW the shadows (etc) could add to the total range of a scrollbar, provided the scrollbar would have existed anyway? That still leads to undesired visual effects in the case of dynamically-changing shadows, as the size and/or position of the scrollbar thumb is likely to jump around as the exact size of the overflow changes.
