Layout Reorderer Demo broken?

Hi there Jonathan - sorry about the unexpected changes to the markup. 
Colin even particularly reminded me to ping you about them but I forgot 
in all the pre-release confusion. The text was added to the drag bars 
since we need to be able to lay hands on some text which identifies each 
particular portlet for the use of a screenreader when they navigate 
through them. This was for work on FLUID-3710. I thought in general it 
might be nice from the point of view of this overall design if the 
information were visible to sighted users too since this would aid 
maintenance and perhaps help them get around the page. The work 
implemented for 3710 is flexible and could take the label from some 
other part of the markup if you think it is ruining the design - that 
is, we could add it to some invisible area for the markup for each 
portlet. Let me know what you think -

The failure of the mouse dragging operation was fixed today.

Thanks,
Antranig.
