Ah yeah, I'll try to move the explainer to WICG. Thank you for the suggestion. (I've never done this before, so I may take a bit of time to do so).

Also, regarding more context for `navigator.clipboard.platform`, it's also possibly necessary as updating `navigator.platform` and `navigator.userAgent` to support Wayland may not be web compatible. Sites currently regex match `"Linux"` to detect sites running over Linux, but if some site were to check for whether `"X11; Linux"` was contained in `navigator.userAgent`, and Wayland support were to be added, such that `"Wayland; Linux"` were to be supported, there may be some sites that may unnecessarily break.
