Add a handle for dragging and I might start to like this idea. :)

Since the main subject of this discussion is reducing what the
user is supposed to know a priori, then I think that, if we are
going in the single-click route, then we should go
all the way and not require him to know that the
single-clicking-and-holding and single-clicking-and-releasing
are different things. Therefore, drag-n-drop also deserves
its mouseover handle, methinks...
