So we shouldn't change its behavior.

But web page should be able to capture "zoom" etc. For example Google maps might want to use it, if zooming happens above the map. So it is in a way related to mouse or whatever pointer. > Therefore they should be completely > separate from any kind of mouse event feature.

(Similar to mouse wheel, which can be used to zoom, at least in Firefox) -Olli
