It has been for ages: http://www.adomas.org/javascript-mouse-wheel/

How is this HTML5

Hasn't this been done many times before?

yes, many many times before, Ben the Body Guard, and that fracking website are the ones i normally recall.

It's nice and all, but i suspect OP might be publishing their own, or maybe a friends, work

Publishing their own work? Thats ... stunning.

Maybe i'm getting too cynical in my old age, I did edit my comment to say "or a friends" to reflect that.

Either way, if that is the case then there is a difference between "Here is something I made" and "Here is something done right" .. especially if that something has been done quite a few times & more impressively before.

I agree. Funny, as at the very same moment this http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4249900 is on the HN frontpage as well. In my eyes an even better example, but not as good, as the ones you stated.

That one is nice too ... has a better claim of being html5 too, no <div id="header"> in site at least!

http://www.fishy.com.br/ and http://www.designmadeingermany.de/magazin/5/ are another couple of sites i have bookmarked for their design

I do think it's something done right. And no, I didn't make it nor do I know the people behind it. But thanks for the cynicism!
