+    <description summary="Move a window during a drag">
+      This protocol enhances normal drag and drop with the ability to move a
+      window at the same time. This allows having detachable parts of a window
+      that when dragged out of it become a new window and can be dragged over
+      an existing window to be reattached.
+
+      A typical workflow would be when the user starts dragging on top of a
+      detachable part of a window, the client would create a wl_data_source and
+      a xdg_toplevel_drag_v1 object and start the drag as normal via
+      wl_data_device.start_drag. Once the client determines that the detachable
+      window contents should be detached from the originating window, it creates
+      a new xdg_toplevel with these contents and issues a
+      xdg_toplevel_drag_v1.attach request before mapping it. From now on the new
+      window is moved by the compositor during the drag as if the client called
+      xdg_toplevel.move.
+
+      Dragging an existing window is similar. The client creates a
+      xdg_toplevel_drag_v1 object and attaches the existing toplevel before
+      starting the drag.
+
+      Clients use the existing drag and drop mechanism to detect when a window
+      can be docked or undocked. If the client wants to snap a window into a
+      parent window it should delete or unmap the dragged top-level. If the
+      contents should be detached again it attaches a new toplevel as described
+      above. If a drag operation is cancelled without being dropped, clients
+      should revert to the previous state, deleting any newly created windows
+      as appropriate. When a drag operation ends as indicated by
+      wl_data_source.dnd_drop_performed the dragged toplevel window's final
+      position is determined as if a xdg_toplevel_move operation ended.
+
+      Warning! The protocol described in this file is currently in the testing
+      phase. Backward compatible changes may be added together with the
+      corresponding interface version bump. Backward incompatible changes can
+      only be done by creating a new major version of the extension.

+        Request that the window will be moved with the cursor during the drag
+        operation. The offset is a hint to the compositor how the toplevel
+        should be positioned relative to the cursor hotspot in surface local
+        coordinates. For example it might only be used when an unmapped window
+        is attached. The attached window does not participate in the selection
+        of the drag target.
+
+        If the toplevel is unmapped while it is attached, it is automatically
+        detached from the drag. In this case this request has to be called again
+        if the window should be attached after it is remapped.
+
+        This request can be called multiple times but issuing it while a

+        error.
