I'm not sure.

I'm a bit worried that scrollLeft starting at a value > 0 in RTL situations
may confuse some scripts. But maybe that doesn't matter.

I'm OK with your proposal to make scrollLeft be purely physical and having
0 be the leftmost possible scroll position. However, I don't want to change
Gecko until the other major vendors also agreed to do this, since that's an
unpopular behavior right now and clearly the IE team made a deliberate
decision to make scrollLeft logical.

I think we should wait with introducing logical scrolling APIs until we

I agree.
