It's more an usability issue here. It's as simple as an user looking for a
normal/simple/used-to scrollbar, and then you have a div with a yellow with
red scrollbar instead. That uses to confuse a lot of users, some think it's
pretty cool, but most of the time the users get confused and don't really
know if that really is a scrollbar or just a plain pic.

i am not sure about that. after all, when we talk about
"(web)standards", then, to me, these standards should also include
"html widgets" - independantly of what microsoft, apple or mozilla
believes how these must or should look like.
