Description
Scroll containers have evolved beyond carousel pagination and other scrollable interfaces and are now capable of providing interfaces for tabs and wizards as demonstrated at Chrome Carousel Gallery .The ::scroll-marker and ::scroll-marker-group pseudo-elements provide native, styleable navigation for scroll containers.
Today, developers treat these patterns as separate components, often implementing and managing each one with JavaScript. Making scroll markers interoperable would allow them to share a common browser-managed primitive. It would also reduce the accessibility problems caused by repeatedly reimplementing the same interaction patterns.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing scroll-marker results under css/css-overflow on the linked WPT dashboard and compare them with the CSS Overflow 5 scroll-markers specification. Add the missing interoperability coverage for ::scroll-marker and ::scroll-marker-group, then verify the relevant tests report consistently across implementations.
