Quick response:

1. they must provide a means to STOP the scrolling - some people will be too

2. it must not interfere with device independence
3. the items/information must all be available elsewhere for those who
cannot see the scrolling and those who cannot read fast enough and/or read
the provided text because of it (usually small) size.
