Sure some do. Not pausing to consider that copying "source code case"
will make sense only to developers and confuse everyone else..

Johannes's points are solid: when the context allows (as in rich text
copying), we should include all the information that lets the paste
target software process the text and make decisions, i.e. copy the
HTML in "source code case" and include CSS doing the text-transform. I
suppose nobody is opposed to that? The only remaining contentious part
should be what to do for the plain text case - IMO having the "source
code case" available as rich text makes it even more correct to let
the plain text clipboard entry be as close as possible to what the
user sees on the screen.
