It seems like there are two concepts here: paging and the lack of scroll
bars. Paging is provided for through "LINK."
REL=Next
The link references the next document to visit in a guided tour.
REL=Previous
The link references the previous document in a guided tour.
A lack of scroll bars is just a browser-developer issue. If a document
cannot be scrolled, the browser could dump the (useless) scroll bars to save
screen real-estate.
Have I misunderstood your suggestion?
