On that note... in Windows I am constantly reminded of an abysmally
poor implementation of Drag and Drop. DnD, should, be definition, be
cross-application (including the OS). I wonder if one cannot come up
with some kind of mechanism that (at least roughly) defines what
type of object one is trying to DnD, and upon dropping, if it's not
obvious for the 'recipient object' what the 'data object' is, at
least displays a menu, allowing to choose from the most obvious
options, ie. text, URL, image/icon, media, etc.
