Public bug reported:

Currently the drag and drop page editor cannot be used with the keyboard. This is a major accessibility problem for people who rely on the keyboard and are unable to use a mouse easily.
There are two options for making this accessible: Implement keyboard drag-and-drop using ARIA and Javascript or display the non-js editor for screen reader users (and make that accessible)

It seems that ARIA drag-and-drop attributes are not well supported among
most screen readers but a mostly-JS approach (like in
http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/accessible-drag-and-drop/) can work
well.
