 /* jQuery Drag and Drop Library for Rich Editors
  *
- * This library exists to provide a jQuery plugin that manages dragging
- * and dropping of page assets into textareas and rich-text editors which use
- * the iframe + designMode method.
- *
- * This plugin has a rather elaborate set of considerations based on common
- * configurations of rich text editors and serious disparity in how browsers
- * handle dragging and dropping assets into an iframe.
- *
- * The plugin scans an iframe with an embedded document with designMode enabled
- * and tries to detect content that was injected by dragging and dropping
- * within the browser.  If it detects an injection of content, it attempts to 
- * conjure up an "editor representation" of the content based on the markup
- * passed in.
- *
- * This works because links and images drop with their full HTML syntax in-tact
- * across most browsers and platforms.  This means we can set a timer on the
- * iframe that scans for the insertion of the markup and replace it with
- * another HTML snippet, as well as triggering actions inside the editor itself
- * (this will perhaps be handled by a set of editor-specific plugins).
- *
- * Because of the mechanism of operation, it is expected that the iframe
- * contain CSS which hides the markup dropped in to create the illusion of
- * seamlessly dropping in the "editor representation" of the dropped item.
- *
- * It is expected that the implementer will be parsing the input text for 
- * the proper markup on the server side and making some decisions about how 
- * to parse and handle that markup on load and save.  
- *
- * Of special interest is graceful degradation.  There is no ideal graceful
- * degradation path at this time.  Every mainstream browser except IE 6 and 
- * IE 7 drop links and images into textareas with their href and src URIs, 
- * respectively, including querystrings.  That means that the image or link
- * url can be used for parsing, or a querystring included.  But it won't work
- * in Internet Explorer, and probably will require a server-side browser check
- * in full blown implementations of the library system.
+ * A helper library which provides the ability to drag and drop images to Rich 
+ * Text Editors (RTEs) that use the embedded iframe + DesignMode method, and
+ * provides a simple "clicky" interface for inserting the same markup directly
+ * into a textarea.  
  *
  * Basic usage:
  *
- * $('a.my-class').dnd({targets: $('#my-iframe')});
+ * $('img.my-class').dnd({targets: $('#my-iframe')});
  *
  * Options:

@@ -80,36 +49,55 @@
  * postprocessDrop:
  *   A callback that postprocesses the iframe.
  *
+ * interval:
+ *   How often to check the iframe for a drop, in milliseconds.
+ *
+ * Usage notes:
+ *
+ * This is a very tricky problem and to achieve cross browser (as of writing, 
+ * IE, Safari, and Firefox) support, severe limitations must be made on the 
+ * nature of DOM elements that are dropped.
+ *
+ * Droppable elements must be <img> tags.  Internet Explorer will not accept
+ * anchors, and Safari strips attributes and additional markup from
+ * dropped anchors, images, and snippets.
+ *
+ * While the idSelector option allows you to parse the dropped element for
+ * any attribute that "comes along" with the element when it is dropped in a
+ * designmode-enabled iframe, the only safe attribute to scan is the 'src' 
+ * attribute, and to avoid strange "relativization" of links, the src should
+ * always be expressed as an absolute url with a fully qualified domain name.
+ *
+ * Implementation notes and todos:
+ *
+ * Currently, there is no garbage collection instituted for the many many
+ * timers that are created, so memory usage could become as issue in scenarios
+ * where the user does a lot of paging or otherwise winds up invoking 
+ * drag and drop on large numbers of elements.
