Interestingly, this technique disables text selection IFF begun in 
the identified area.  I can begin my text-selection in the preceding 
section and carry the selection into the "disabled" section.  Here's 
a text selection from the web page using my mouse and copied & pasted here:

Troy, you'd have to play with it to see if you could extend the 
boundaries of the disabled area widely enough to prevent this from 
occurring and without disabling the drag-&-drop functionality you're creating.
