FWIW, the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines recommends:

* Ctrl+scrollwheel-up should zoom into the window or control under the mouse pointer, and Ctrl+scrollwheel-down should zoom out. Zooming in this way should not move keyboard focus to the window or control being zoomed.

They have no current recommendation for horizontal scrolling.
