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

That seems to be the main and possible currently only real-world usecase for this feature that JS editors have been asking for so far. With the exception of the usecase you just mentioned.

What if there is a little note below the editor: "You can copy the text, but you are not allowed to copy the photos." and a JS mechanism which prevents the cut/copy whenever someone tries to copy/cut a selection which includes images? Maybe not a super common usecase.

I see, it seems not to be a good idea to rely on `opt-in/out` in this stage. Maybe it will be better to do https://github.com/w3c/editing/issues/144#issuecomment-240259209 for now.

Anyways thanks for the input!
