WebKit does not support this feature as specified. Our opinion is that we don't want to encourage web developers to reserve space for scrollbars in a way that prevents non-interactive content from intruding into that space. This undoes a big advantage of overlay scrollbars, in that they leave more space for content.
Our preference would be some kind of margin value (perhaps a constant) that allows authors to move only interactive content outside of the area affected by overlay scrollbars.
