Re: [w3c/clipboard-apis] Support for putting images on the clipboard (#44)

> The intent of the recently-added Async clipboard API is that it supports image data.

Please formalize this intent in the draft spec. Write-access to common image types seems to be left out whereas read-only access seems possible.

If the spec'd API is stable, I can look into getting it implemented in Firefox. There are already some open bugs with no assignee:

- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1351193 Implement the DataTransfer constructor
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1221562 Investigate asynchronous DataTransfer API

In the last bug, there is feedback on the API, but I guess that it never got to you since there is no reply: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1221562#c4. Perhaps you can take a look at it?

And for image copying, I created an experimental prototype to see what issues would arise in implementing the functionality (independent of how the API looks like). The results are summarized in my initial report here, so please review those bullet points too.,
