My comment was: >> jQuery *and other well-maintained libraries* update to include the most performant native HTML features when they become available. Certainly the fact that there are ~1000 JavaScript frameworks on the Web is evidence that a native implementation is more desirable than putting the onus on the framework developers. I think there may be enough in the HTML 5.1 spec to make native HTML drag&drag accessible. I know that there is not enough in the ARIA spec to make drag&drop accessible on all platforms. We could let it limp along, or we could deprecate it. I think the responsible decision is to deprecate it and focus on the good parts of ARIA. James
