Later in the thread I mentioned that in Gecko, the 'scroll' event is
asynchronous, which suggests that Web compatibility does not require it to
be synchronous.

Perhaps it should be defined in CSSOM, alongside scrollTop/scrollLeft?

In Gecko, it's just something that fires asynchronously after a node's
scrollTop/scrollLeft have changed. Scroll events for the viewport fire at
the document and bubble to the window, scroll events on elements with
'overflow' not 'visible' fire at that element and don't bubble.
