> 1. The position of the floating caret cannot be detected as a drag is taking place, because the floating caret isn't considered to be the real selection caret.

You can determine it using document.caretRangeFromPoint(event.x, event.y).

> 2. There is no event (that I'm aware of, perhaps I'm wrong) that can be fired to detect that a drop has occurred while at the same time allowing the default behavior to commence, perhaps fixing that is as easy as letting the drop event fire without having canceled the default behavior.

I don't know enough about how these events work to comment. Do you have evidence that WebKit doesn't properly implement HTML5 in this area (see <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/dnd.html#dnd>)? There is also a nice description of how drag and drop is supposed to work in <http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/dnd/basics/>.
