I've actually just recently implemented the mousewheel and thought about writting it as a plugin. There are a few special situations that need to be considered. For example IE allows a mousewheel event to be attached to an element in the dom and Firefox allows it only to be attached to the document. So I have normalized this so that you can attach a mousewheel event to elements in the dom. The unfortunate part is that it doesn't work in Safari, yet. I'm not sure about Opera.
I actually wrote this for a custom scrollbar and allows the mousewheel to be used in any div that has the scrollbar when you mouseover it. Again, as with everything it take time to do it right and do the tests. I've got lots on my plate but this is something I would like to pursue in more depth.
