Re: The SVG Race: IE(1st) Chrome(2nd) FF(last)

Hi,

From a standards perspective, the built-in behaviour of the renderer on
mousewheel events may best be regarded as user-agent specific behaviour,
and unspecified.

An analogous situation is the behaviour of the backspace key: in Firefox on
Linux, it is used to go back a page; but in Firefox on Windows, backspace
is not bound to that behaviour. Nowhere in the HTML specification does it
say how a user agent must behave to a backspace event. This is by design.

Therefore, Firefox is technically probably not doing anything wrong.

Best,

Jake
