I would argue that most zoom inplementaitons actually works the opposite of
this (check maps.google.com for instance). When zooming in I always percieve
it as moving "into" the image, and hence find it more natural that this
occurs when moving the scrollwheel away from me (and towards the screen)

I agree with Martin that increasing volume should definately be up (away) on
the scroll wheel.
