Description

Is the CSS Scrollbars Level 1 specification ready to published as a recommendation? Currently it's a candidate and has been for a while. The only changes from the current draft compared to the CR is a minor correction.

It has long been supported in Firefox, but will soon also be supported in Chromium (see my I2S), it also has a positive standards position from WebKit scrollbar-width position scrollbar-color position.

Research direction

Start with the CSS Scrollbars Level 1 draft and compare it with the candidate recommendation referenced in the issue. Review the linked Chromium intent-to-ship discussion and WebKit standards positions; done would require resolving whether the specification is ready for recommendation publication, rather than making a defined code change.
