It would yes, I missed that Erick wanted them to appear occasionally. An
alternate approach would be to use JavaScript to detect if there is an
overflow and if there is to turn the property's value back to auto.

For example, assuming a window is known to be 500 pixels high run a
JavaScript version of this pseudo-script on load:

 if(BODY.height>500){
   HTML.style.overflow = "auto";
   BODY.style.overflow = "auto";
 else
   HTML.style.overflow = "hidden";
   BODY.style.overflow = "hidden";
