http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/masking.html#OverflowAndClipProperties seems to 
indicate 
that 
the property overflow="scroll" is allowed on the <svg> element, but not on a 
toplevel one.  
However, using it even on an embedded one doesn't produce any scrollbars in 
Batik, 
Gecko 
1.8 or 1.9, or a Webkit nightly (last night).

Here is an example SVG document:

<code>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" 
  "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd";>
<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; xml:lang="en-US"
     width="100%" height="100%">
<svg width="100%" height="100%" overflow="scroll">
<rect x="0px" y="0px" width="640px" height="480px" fill="green" />
</svg>
</svg>
</code>

No scrollbars are visible in this document when viewed in any of the viewers 
mentioned 
above, when the window is resized so that it's too small to display the entire 
<rect>.  The 
<rect> is just cut off.  Why??  I've seen mention of other embedding their SVG 
in HTML to 
get scrollbars or implementing the scrollbars manually in SVG, but if these 
workarounds 
are necessary, what purpose does overflow="scroll" on <svg> serve at all, that 
the 
standard should mention it?
