Since pretty soon, the drag handler has a stopDown API property that
one can set to allow/disallow event propagation. You can try to do
dragControl.dragHandler.stopDown = true. Currently, there's no way to
set the drag handler options when initializing the drag feature
control. I think this is lacking.
