Thanks for the clarification Mark. I'm fine with treating it as binary 
and encoding/decoding my data as needed to keep it private and usable in 
our app. I would be nice to have that in the dragData dictionary entry 
whenever the docs can be updated.

I should learn how to contribute to updating documentation myself, but I 
have tried setting up GIT on Windows twice without success (obviously I 
am doing something basic wrong).
