Some Observations

The set of results for the default and visible values of the 'overflow' property of the html were identical, which clearly indicates that the default value of 'overflow' property of the html is visible.
Again, the set of results for the default and visible values of the 'overflow' property of the body were identical, which clearly indicates that the default value of 'overflow' property of the body is visible.
Furthermore, the set of results for the default and visible values of the 'overflow' property of the html element versus all the values of the body element also indicate that the Default scrollbars belong to the html element.
However, the set of result for the hidden value of 'overflow' property of the body element versus all the values of the html element also clearly indicate that they are definetely controlled by setting(s) of the that of the body element.
For the default and visible values of the overflow property of the body element, #test extended vertically/horizontally (up the limits of Peep-Hole) beyond the body element, which retained its specified height/weight; for the other settings, #test was contained within the limits of the body element.
The results of the tests conduducted with Netscape were identical with those of Mozilla, as it may have been expected. But, we did not not want to make any asumptions!
