RE: [cssom-view] value of scrollLeft in RTL situations is completely busted across browsers

I agree that the behavior of scrollLeft/Top for RTL/vertical needs to be discussed. I would also like scrollIntoView[1] in sync with the discussion.

I believe IE9 behavior is the most intuitive.

I agree with Shane Stephen's comment:

I'm willing to change Gecko's behavior (although if the change breaks a lot of stuff, we'd have to change it back). But I'd like to hear from Opera and Webkit people whether they're willing to change.
