While that does eliminate many (most) of the problems I'm not sure what
benefit that leaves behind (the only thing I can think of is dragging).

I'd also be concerned about the possibility of that interface being
confusing, but I'm not at all sure what people are conditioned to expect
from graphical interfaces which allow multiple selection as I never really
use anything that lets me do that anymore.
