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

> Have you seen the [async clipboard api proposal](https://discourse.wicg.io/t/proposal-modern-asynchronous-clipboard-api/1513)? I believe it addresses your concerns (but with support for proper permissions rather than assuming that "a user initiated action" is the same as "user grants full permission to access clipboard").

@garykac I had none seen that proposal and it is exactly what I was asking for! The part I proposed about not changing the security model was just so that the discussion about creating such a method being unsafe could be minimized (this had been mentioned when this came up previously). I will leave all further commentary on that on the WICG page.

This takes care of one issue with the clipboard. If we now agree on going with https://github.com/w3c/editing/issues/144#issuecomment-240558462 then there is still one remaining issue with the clipboard: How can the user prevent copying to the clipboard from happening altogether without intercepting keydown/up/press events? @garykac Do you think this is something you guys eventually could figure out to do within the clipboard api?

Unless anyone here disagrees with it, I would suggest I start updating the input-events draft accordingly once the FPWD proposal is through, which should be August 22.
