Names are opaque, it's the definition that matters. Don't forget that most 
people using this API won't even have English as their first language; to 
them it doesn't matter if it's mousewheel, mousescroll, or guitarjumping.

The event 'mousewheel' is the only logical choice, since it's what has 
been most widely implemented.
