Consider adding 'mousewheel' again

State:

Description:

Defining the 'mousewheel' event and interface was an early decision by the group, and this was specified along with the 'wheel' event and interface, and a detailed description of the interactions between the two.

'mousewheel' was later dropped based on feedback from implementers (Mozilla, Microsoft), who expressed a reluctance to implement 'mousewheel', and a lack of useful interoperability and concern that any change to improve interop would likely break a number of sites.

However, the group may wish to consider adding it again, see:
