marquee scrollspeed (#124731)

This may be a proprietary, non-standard element, but since Opera has implemented it, they really should get it right.

marquee speeds are incorrectly implemented. If truespeed is not specified, scrolldelay should be limited to a minimum value of 60. Opera gets this wrong as shown in examples 3, 5 and 7 below which should have the same scroll speed as examples 1 and 2.

Opera also appears to set it's own minimum value of 40 to scrolldelay no matter the setting of truespeed, which results in example 8 not scrolling fast enough.

  1. scrolldelay=60 (slow)
  2. scrolldelay=60 truespeed (slow)
  3. scrolldelay=41 (slow)
  4. scrolldelay=41 truespeed (medium)
  5. scrolldelay=40 (slow)
  6. scrolldelay=40 truespeed (medium)
  7. scrolldelay=1 (slow)
  8. scrolldelay=1 truespeed (lightspeed!)
