That is really what I was asking for. I am surprised both that I can't
do it through a callback, and that Draggable does not provide me a
callable method to do it.

I see that point, and I have sometimes done it that way, but there are
two reasons against it:
1. All the data that may be required to perform any of the validations
needs to be downloaded with the original page load.
2. The validation has to be coded in Javascript, but is likely to
duplicate some code which is also needed in the server program (PHP in
my case).
For a given site, there will be a trade-off between these different
points, and you make a decision depending on the amount of data
required, the likely number of drag-drop operations, the speed of
connection, the load on the server etc.
