Not only direction results in an error. Setting the following properties results
in an error.

scrollDelay
behavior
direction

My own XBL emulation supports this. Feel free to reuse the code from that. See 
http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/xblmarquee/xblmarquee.html

To me it is pretty odd that you reimplemented what I already had done and you 
did not even improve on the existing emulation. I know my version has bugs but 
at least it is a lot less buggy than the one you checked into the tree.

Comment 7, that sounds really positive to hear from a Netscape employee.
