[[
The current Editor's draft includes the following formulas for
converting wheel events to mousewheel and DOMMouseScroll events:

mousewheel.wheelDelta = -(WheelEvent.deltaY) / 120

DOMMouseScroll.detail = WheelEvent.deltaY / 3


Shouldn't those division signs be multiplication signs? Everything I
read says that IE returns a wheelDelta of +120 or -120 for a single
wheel "click", and that Firefox returns a detail field of plus or minus 3.

Related notes:

Revision 1.175. Conversion could only work some times because of a dependency in OS scroll settings. Therefore, I removed this section on conversion altogether.
