1. Open page   data:text/html,<div><br>
2. Drag-and-drop <br> element to make it 1st child of <body>
3. Try to drag-and-drop <br> element back into <div> element

Result:       Currently there's no way to do that
Expectations: There should be the way to do that.

Note:         Currently I have to copy <br>'s outerHTML, then remove <br> element, then
              edit <div> as HTML, paste <br>'s outerHTML, press Ctrl+Enter.
              (And btw I'm going to get black closing tag </div> due to bug 1189464)"

Not only empty elements but also elements only containing text are affected by this.

I'd suggest the UI to be a vertical bar right after the opening tag or before the closing tag as indication for where the dragged element will be inserted when dropped.
