I couldn't find a decisive answer about this in the FAQ or other threads here (it's been mentioned in a few scroll threads, but I couldn't find a decisive answer), so I'll have to ask it. Maybe someone has a link to the proper thread or just knows it…
Anyway, to cite the PRD (emphasis mine):
Note that all items have prerequisites in their descriptions. These prerequisites must be met for the item to be created. Most of the time, they take the form of spells that must be known by the item's creator (although access through another magic item or spellcaster is allowed). The DC to create a magic item increases by +5 for each prerequisite the caster does not meet. The only exception to this is the requisite item creation feat, which is mandatory. In addition, you cannot create spell-trigger and spell-completion magic items without meeting their spell prerequisites.
I've got a druid and a wizard with scribe scroll feats in my party. Now both of them might want to create scrolls for the cleric for which they don't have the spells on their lists (or aren't able to cast 'em yet due to different spell levels or missing spell book entries).
It's pretty clear that you aren't allowed to bypass being able to cast the spell by just upping your DC by +5. But if I'm just scribing what my buddy is reciting, can I scribe a scroll of it?
It would seem pretty weird to me, especially in a case where a wizard would technically create a divine scroll…
