For me, drag and drop is conceptually similar to copy and paste, and the "clipboard" name keeps Gears open to providing richer copy and paste, not just richer drag and drop. The initial focus is just on the "drop" part, but I could see us aiming wider in the future. > b) You mention that this makes the entire client area a drop target. > What about iframes? Yes, to be precise, the drop target would be the part of the window that renders a particular (Gears-enabled) document, so if there were multiple frames, then some frames may be receptive whilst others were not.
