Re: [clipboard API] platform integration stuff - in spec or out of scope?

I don't know what these "map to" on platforms that do not use MIME types to
describe clipboard contents. Should this information be dug up and included?

I know you've brought this up before, I haven't done anything about it and
it's partly because I'm not actually sure myself what an implementation
would have to do to "support" a data type..

That would be absolutely terrific Paul - maybe make a wiki page or etherpad
somewhere? It would really help me - coming more from the JavaScript side
of things I can figure out and describe how all the JavaScript stuff works,
but it's much harder to determine how the platform side needs to be
specified.

So..  If the most important platforms do not have a clipboard format or
description for a specific MIME type, does that mean telling
implementations to "support" it is meaningless? Sort of seems like it..
