Exactly, that's why my opinion/comment was pro/for a user dialog.
And pro script access, not just user initiated access.
I do realize Jan's proposal eliminated the need for this, since
it would always be user initiated.

This would definitely work for me.
It would allow for the text editor application to have buttons for
cut/copy/paste.
I would add that once the user allows the application access they should not
be prompted again in the same session.


Further thoughts on Jan's email:
I had not thought of these as DOM events, but that's seems like a great
idea.
Would it give the application designer discreet paste targets?
I assume it would.
