Yes, it does. See
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/clipops/clipops.html#integration-with-other-scripts-and-events
I expect implementations to let users configure if a site/app is allowed
to use execCommand for cut/copy/paste, perhaps with a prompt on first use.

I don't know much about what execCommand is meant to return, but e.g.
doing execCommand('copy') and then event.preventDefault() from a 'copy'
event listener is intended to prevent copying.
