Anyone else?

They were disabled in strict mode. Quite why (as they're a user
preference and off by default) I'm not sure...

XHTML 1.0 Transitional triggers Strict mode[1].
OK, it's like this. Strict mode is supposed to only show valid
CSS. Scrollbar styling isn't valid CSS. Thus, scrollbar styling is
ignored in Strict mode. At least, that's the rationale (or my
understanding of it, anyway).

Right-on. Scroll bars are part of my UI - authors can poke-off. No bug.

While trying to promote Opera to one of my Microsoft-loving co-workers, he
says:
"Yeah, but Opera can't do colorized scrollbars like IE"
I respond:
"Sure it can! Opera 7.20 has this cool new setting..."
You can imagine my pure disappointment and embarrassment when visiting the W3C
site!
Although you all make compelling arguments, I suggest Opera rethink this
setting in the Preferences dialog. After all, the label is _NOT_ clear that
it's "Strict-mode dependent". I suggest either remove it, or fix it, "as-is"
it's confusing and needs further clarification (like this thread).
Thanks.

And as such I have styled my scrollbars in my user stylesheet. :)

Yes. But I would like to see scrollbar style enabled for user stylesheets.
And DoctypeSniffing itself is already a bug.
