Yes, but the reason isn't the firefox's plan. The mousehweel event has never
defined yet. That's the reason why firefox doesn't have plan to implement it
(Actually, the behavior of IE, WebKit and Opera isn't same even on Windows
though). I think that HTML5 spec shouldn't define on* attributes whose event
isn't defined in any standard spec.

Yes.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you ask me here. I just reported only for "onwheel".
But it may be better if HTML5 defines on* attributes for all D3E events (e.g.,
"focusin", "focusout", "mouseenter", "mouseleave", "compositionstart",
"compositionupdate", "compositionend", but I'm not sure for deprecated DOM*
events in D3E).
