Just a comment on this: I believe the drop zone should be highlighted whenev=
er a user drags a document into the browser window, not just when she's over=
 the drop zone. Otherwise, how do you know where to drop the file?
The drop zone may change to also indicate when the file is currently within i=
t's borders, but that's less important.

Apologies if I've just repeated something was already clear before.

- Joe
