Re: [w3c/editing] [beforeinput] PreventDefault() on InputType=cut differs from Clipboard API (#144)

I think the way we solved it was that we all forgot how difficult it is to add content to the global clipboard, so we didn't think this was an issue. :)

I think I agree with you that it's easier to do A now and then possible switch to C later on. 

Additionally, we should file an issue with the Clipboard API (who is maintaining that now?) that there needs to be a added a method to add things to the clipboard without having to rely on execCommand and adding things to the DOM. This has been requested before, and here we have a good use case for this.
