What would the expected mode of user interaction be to scroll such areas, or is this entirely up to the UA?

For example on Mac, I can see that the mousewheel could be used, or possible click-dragging, or
click-dragging with the spacebar held down (like image editors), but those are very undiscoverable.

Yeah, I was surprised that scrollTo still works with overflow:hidden areas!
