I'll ask for clarification. However, the original IE drag and drop event model is... quirky to say the least. It does not seem intuitive that merely canceling the dragenter/dragover events should be enough to prevent the default action of a *drop*. Given that the original IE model was meant to deal with text and URLs, I think we have some flexibility for improving this.
