The world had converged on the other meaning by the late 1980s at the
very latest. By now, as far as I can tell, Emacs is unique among modern
editors in its naming scheme for scroll directions. (Even on mobile
devices with touchscreens, where you swipe the text to move the text up,
that operation is *still* called 'scrolling down'.)
