Re: [editing] What do we need to integrate with the clipboard api? (#64)

I agree with @Reinmar having the selection canonicalized makes it hard to control selection.

If we want to keep execCommand("cut/copy") and use them for cE=events then they shouldn't mutate the selection otherwise one would have to do ugly workarounds to restore the selection after a cut/copy call if you want it to be in a specific place.

So I guess the spec needs to have some details on how cut/copy should work in a cE=events environment also I think it should be the only commands available until an replacement API to clipboard access is spec:ed.
