Scrolling with two fingers pretty much doesn't cut it for me. It's jerky and frustrating and quite often, I give up trying to scroll a pane. For me, Apple's scroll design is inconsistent. Scroll the whole page with one finger, scroll a pane in the page with two. That means I've got to remember to switch gears and use a different scrolling method at times.
Additionally, a pane which can be scrolled normally has no visible indication that it may be scrolled. It would be helpful to see some sort of indicator in-page, eg., scrollbars, or somesuch thing.
My suggestion would be to only allow scrolling with one finger, but to do so, activate a "scrolling mode" by double-tapping within the pane to be scrolled. Then, use just one finger to scroll as one normally would. Double-tap to exit scrolling mode.
I realize this would interfere with the double-tap zooming function. I'll leave it to Apple to figure out how to incorporate a scrolling mode trigger with a zoom trigger.
The two-finger scroll could be left in for those comfortable with that, but I'd be surprised if most wouldn't prefer a single-finger scroll throughout the interface.
I feel the user experience would be much more consistent and appealing using such a methodology.
