This feature generalizes the special behaviors (typically on mobile) given today only to the documentElement to a other scrollers on the page. For example, show/hide URL bar on scroll. This allows authors to use non-document scrollers to host content and logically separate their application views in the DOM rather than moving everything into the documentElement.
