You can use the wording I gave above (modified here slightly):

7. Fire an event using the *ClipboardEvent* interface, with its *type*
attribute
initialized to *e* and its *clipboardData* attribute initialized to *data
transfer*, at *event target*.  If the event's *canceled flag* is set then
abort these steps.
8. If *e* is:
    *paste*:
        ....

This is a well-understood topic: DOM2 is hazardously obsolete and new specs
reference DOM4 for definitions of things like DOM Events.  This isn't a
"hot debate"; it's a finished one.  If you'd like more explanation about
this please start another thread--please don't derail this one.
