Or dragging E-mails to folders in a webmail service..

One of the issues here is that there ought to be a way to drag a 
collection of elements that aren't necessarily siblings in the DOM. 
Perhaps a way to specify a "drag-group" to say that certain elements 
considered draggable should be dragged together.

<foo onclick="
if( ! this.draggable ){ 
   this.draggable = true;
   dragGroup = mailBucket;
 }else 
   this.draggable = false;

 A DragGroup object would be a sort of nodelist.. Perhaps something 
like "myDragGroup.add(this);" would be more logical? Or perhaps just 
assign a specific ID string..?
