            Bug ID: 23538
           Summary: Sort out markup from local source (i.e. word
                    processor) referencing images on disk
           Product: WebAppsWG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux

Word processors may put markup fragments that reference locally saved image
files/embedded objects on the clipboard. Ideally, these files should be exposed
in the DataTransferItemList so that scripts can process them and upload them to
the backend on paste.

Now, obviously we don't want any random page to be able to write <img
src="file:// ..."> to the clipboard, then trigger paste and steal the
referenced local file. Ideally, the implementations should be able to deduce
that the content is from a local application to be able to do this safely. I
don't know if that is possible, certainly not if it's possible cross-platform.
