Exactly.

Nice find!  scrollToBeginningOfDocument is also missing from the headers.
 I wonder if NSResponder will respond to that message anyway... will try
that now...

I guess its all about what you're used to. :)

Also, for 1) there is: System Preferences > Appearance > 'click in the
scroll bar to'.  I only played with it for one minute, but I can't find
any apps that honour it.
