I don't think this is right decision; I am concerned that authors will misremember the 'wheelDelta' name and mistype it as e.g. 'wheelRotation' whereas the 'detail' name is easy to remember and consistent with e.g. the mouse and time events. The implementation cost of re-using the de- tail member is also lower than making up a new member and keeping the then unused detail member. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
