I think I got your point: you are asking about a protocol, right?
Nope. This was just to explain the different ways to do the same thing...
[some dnd protocol description]
This was Xdnd I think. Or am I wrong?
The low-level protocols have a low priotity on my todo (well, thats why they
are called low-level ;-).
First think I do is the abstraction of the drop, after this the abstraction of
the drag follows, then I will look after other protocols.
My test bed is the OffiX protocol (which is easy but also simple -- and I have
control over it -- and it's is already in XEmacs), and it seems that the
mswindows code will follow in my footsteps (as the maintainer told me for file
drops only).
After this I will see what will follow (Xdnd, Xde, CDE, Motif, etc.).
