hmm, not convinced.
I see building a scrollviewstyle inside another scrollviewstyle even worse, it creates an extra instance for basically nothing just binding everything it implements. It's true that an addition in textareastyle  in base will give problems, but i'm not sure it's worth instancing a dead scrollviewstyle.

TextAreaStyle is in itself an extension of the same style's ScrollViewStyle. base style, Desktop style and Android style all inherit from their own scrollviews
