Right, it sure would be nice if we could stuff an #image into a card and have it
drag-n-drop consistently, even on mobile.
But as we have all observed, not even an #xref behaves right. (I'll be removing
those from the demo.)
Strictly for technical reasons, I don't want to load up these problems with a
lot of complicated stuff. So I do not plan to expand the schema from where it
is now.
And the shortcomings of #tabular on the static side have been known for a while.
