Let's reinvent the fucking scrollbar, which every goddamn platform with a UI already has, and make it behave subtly different from the native one!

Right-click a native scrollbar in some other app:
- Scroll Here
- Top
- Bottom
- Page Up
- Page Down
- Scroll Up
- Scroll Down

Right-click a scrollbar in Chrome:
- Back
- Forward
- Reload
- Save As...
...

Right-click a scrollbar in Firefox and Opera:
Absolutely fucking nothing happens!

What the fuck!? How did these terminally retarded idiots get involved in creating one of the most important pieces of software to the average user?

Time to look at CSS parsing/tokenising again in more detail...

http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-syntax/#tokenization

What a mess... no reason I can see for "colon-token", "semicolon-token", and "comma-token", amongst others, to be separated out, when they could've just put them in with "delim-token". Ditto for "whitespace" since it get skipped over anyway - no sense in pushing that up to the parser. This needs to be transformed into a more usable set of states first.
