I don't think so. The mousewheel event isn't useful for web developers since
the delta values don't indicate preferred scroll amount. On the other hand,
legacy mouse wheel events on Gecko indicate the scroll amount but the behavior
is too complicated.

The new D3E wheel event indicates the scroll amount and behaves simply. So, I
believe that the D3E wheel event improves everything for mouse wheel event
handling on web applications.
