31853 - [feature][d&d] Rewrite to not use a separate transferable object

Status: NEW

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

Part of Eric's initial design of the d&d api's was to have the nsITransferable be 
an interface implemented by anyone who knew how to get/put data such as the 
clipboard or drag service. For some reason, we split out this interface into a 
separate, stand-alone object.

I think it makes more sense to just make the clipboard/drag services just 
implement nsITransferable directly and not force clients to create a separate 
object. 

We can reuse the code that's already present in the transferable w/in the clip/
drag implementations so this is mostly just code shuffling rather than a huge 
rewrite. Clients will have to be updated as well, but that shouldn't be too hard 
(I hope) and I can take care of that.

Don't think this is worth spending 25% of our remaining time on.  resolving as 
later.

Moving all latered bugs to M20 as ordered by project manager.  Although these 
bugs are now open, assigned and targetted, XPToolkit has no plans to 
fix/implement them in the current release cycle, if ever.

The bug assignee didn't login in Bugzilla in the last 7 months, so the assignee is being reset.
