You're absolutely right. It's just a "used-to-be"-thing.

Ok, I see. Perspective view is always a bit tricky, and not having the same
functionality in both of these modes is also a bad thing. I think of the
shift-b (is it shift-b? currently no blender on this machine) shortcut to
draw a zoom area, which doesn't work in perspective view either, though it's
not as easy to access as the mouse wheel (extra key strokes etc.)
Anyway, I guess, it's possible in Pro/E in both modes (perspective and
orthgonal)

I've discussed this at length in a patch that proposed
