Why were window.scrollY and window.scrollX introduced?

As far as I know, pageXOffset/pageYOffset properties were already available since Netscape 4 era.
And it seems scrollX/scrollY were introduced circa Netscape 6.

Alternative question:

Q2. Is there a browser which implements scrollX/scrollY but doesn't support pageXOffset/pageYOffset?

I will add a third question because no one was able to answer the previous ones:

Q3. scrollX/scrollY was added to the latest editor's draft of the CCSOM and the working draft only got pageXOffset/pageYOffset, why are they keeping both attributes?
