[csswg-drafts] css-scrollbars-1 and people with learning and cognitive disability (#6984)

lseeman has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== css-scrollbars-1 and   people with learning and cognitive disability ==
With regard
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-scrollbars-1/

I am glad to see the changes made with APA. However the risks are not clear with regard to people with learning and cognitive disability. 
Is it possible for the  notes to included  warning for reduced accessibility and useability, especially for  people
with low vision and or people with learning and cognitive disabilities for:

   -  making the  scroll bar thin or none
   -  reducing the contrast of the scroll

Useability testing should included these user groups, when reducing the
size or contrast of scrolls bars.

Also we would like to mention that double or nested  scroll bars is often
an accessibility  issue and they should be avoided. If they are
necessary there should be  very clearly grouped with the related content,
so that users can clearly tell what content will be affected by what scroll
bar.

for more information see https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-usable/ It is full of goodies about  how presentation can help or hinder people with learning and cognitive disabilities.
The issues above with Scroll specificaly is mentioned a few time such as : 
3.1.2 Clear Operation (User Story)
3.2.1 Findable (User Story)
4.3.1 , 4.3.4,  4.2.6 and more!
