------- Additional Comments from Darin Adler <darin at apple.com>
It seems to me that the real issue here isn't exactly "directional pad
navigation" -- it's more "small screen with explicit scrolling", and I suppose
the explicit scrolling part is what's really relevant. I could easily imagine
someone using WebKit on a web browser for a TV screen, and using a directional
pad on a remote control. It's entirely unclear to me whether the presence of
the directional pad would also cause the developers to want this behavior in
that case.

I'm going to say r=me with this, but I think we're being a bit unclear on what
DIRECTIONAL_PAD_NAVIGATION means and that could become a problem down the line.
