    <description><![CDATA[Touchpads encourage Lion-style reverse (in which you two-finger drag the document) scroll, as well as inertia, while mice with scrollwheels feel more natural when the wheel moves the viewport (shall we call it "anti-natural scroll"?). touchpads also feel more natural when the scrolling is continuous, as opposed to wheels, where "chunked" (one entity at a time) may be less surprising. The same applies to inertia - the viewport has no mass, so scrolling should stop as soon as the wheel stops turning whereas when you move the document, the larger it is, the more inertia it should have and movement should continue for a while if we release the pad with fingers moving until we touch it again.<br /><br />When you are on a notebook that gets attached to a mouse from time to time, the two ideas clash and the experience gets miserable, in special because reverse scrolling requires a Xmodmap trick that affects all input devices equally.<br />
