Hi
Scrollbars are browser widgets, not the viewport - this is why valid CSS2 doesn't include the MS only values you mention.
Scrollbars are set by the OS - they should remain consistent with the other programs a user is using to ensure a consistent experience. For instance setting a scrollbar colour on Safari users may produce some strange results as we would be departing from the default Aqua interface. Letting the user choose - i.e the skinnability of XP, Mozilla and Opera is a better router to follow.
The CSS3 user interface makes some good reading (and who doesn't like reading w3c documents??) on stuff coming up - including selectors.
Cheers
James
