Re: Proposal to improve the nomenclature of scrolling directions

    1.  The terms "up" and "down" have the opposite meanings of the ones
    commonly used in the (non-emacs) world.  The info node explains that
    this is for historical reasons; OK, but then, why don't we try to find
    a solution?  (see below)

It is not "historical reasons".  This meaning is just as good
as the other meaning.

If the world has indeed converged on the other meaning then I agree
it would be good to be compatible.
