Note: some limitations regarding drag and drop

Note that action chains are not well supported by some dirvers. In particular, HTML5 Drag and Drop have not worked so far for firefox and chrome on my linux machine. It is working with jquery's drag and drop.

Here are some notable webkit and chrome-driver bugs to follow:

• keyup can't be simulated: (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16735)
• html5's drag and drop with chrome-driver not supported: (http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=3604)
