Since you discuss virtual buffers I'll guess we are talking about
windows here.  So why can't they use IAccessible2::scrollTo() and
IAccessible2::scrollToPoint()?  Which we implement.

I'd be willing to consider implementing other API's for changing
what's displayed, but I tend to think the IA2 or other a11y interface
list is the appropriate place to discuss adding new APIs.
