They still haven't been standardized as mouse-4/mouse-5, that is a common kludge for programs that do not have proper Z-Axis handling. I think it would be better if the events were mouse-wheel-up and mouse-wheel-down. Then if consistency is desired, someone will be motivated to write Z-Axis support for X. I do agree that two seperate events would be easier for the end-user to use than the current single mouse-wheel event.
