Certainly, hiding the system scrollbar wouldn't be the end of the story for
the author, of course. It's just a necessary prerequisite.
After having hidden the system scrollbar, authors would be able to add/apply
their own, custom, visual cues for scrolling. Imagine a scrolling jog wheel.
Or a paging scroll header ("page 1 of 10"). Or something similar to a
progress bar. Anything but the system provided scroll bars. Even nothing, if
that's the intention of the author. We should leave the decision of which or
whether a visual cue is to be provided to the author.
