Hi Peter,

I don't really think it's a misnomer. The point is that here's no point
in integrating said axes. We don't track how far one scrolls in the
current code, since one only ever cares about what is happening _now_.

Programs may track the scroll buttons, but this usually affects state
which is also subject to other input, at the discretion of the app. No
app cares how much a user scrolled since the server started, except
maybe for a mouse-o-meter. Delivering such values is just distracting.

So IMO the question is how to deal with axes which don't "add up". The
no_integration code seems to be a good match to me, although I think it
really is another axis mode (which happens to mostly behave like relative).

Cheers,

Simon
