If there are any developers of the browser out there I've noticed a

I see it in Mozilla 1.5b on Win2k as well.

It is due to the overflow:auto on the body.page rule in 
<http://www.htfr.com/css/xml.css>.

CSS 2.1 says <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visufx.html#propdef-overflow>

auto
    The behavior of the 'auto' value is user agent-dependent, but 
should cause a scrolling mechanism to be provided for overflowing boxes.

HTML UAs may apply the overflow property from the BODY or HTML elements

Seems to me that we don't apply the overflow from the BODY to the 
viewport. I've seen several other evangelism bugs on this type of 
behavior, but can't say why we don't.
