I'm quite happy with this approach too.

Would we then agree with Rob's original suggestion ("I think most Web
content I've seen that uses scrollLeft assumes its minimum value is zero
and it increases from left to right" - the key here is that the minimum
maps to the left hand edge) as a specification for scrollLeft? Or
alternatively explicitly denote that scrollLeft is legacy and undefined for
RTL content?
