In the description of the sequence of steps that a user-agent must execute
every 350 ms: In side condition 'Otherwise' of item 3.1, there are 4
conditions listed - the first 3 starting with the word 'If' and the last one
with 'Otherwise'. In all of the first three conditions (i.e. those starting
with 'If') shouldn't references to 'current target element' be instead
'immediate user selection'?

Comment 1 Sumeet 2012-06-01 02:17:26 UTC 
Below is the text I commented about. Thanks.

If the current target element is a text field (e.g. textarea, or an input element whose type attribute is in the Text state) or an editing host or editable element, and the drag data store item list has an item with the drag data item type string "text/plain" and the drag data item kind Plain Unicode string

    Set the current target element to the immediate user selection anyway.

If the current target element is an element with a dropzone attribute that matches the drag data store

    Set the current target element to the immediate user selection anyway.

If the current target element is the body element

    Leave the current target element unchanged.

Otherwise

    Fire a DND event named dragenter at the body element, if there is one, or at the Document object, if not. Then, and set the current target element to the body element, regardless of whether that event was canceled or not.

I realize that my comments are not clear. Therefore I am providing an html attachment of the original text with footnotes about what I think should change.
