[w3c/clipboard-apis] Where would one get a DataTransfer to hand to the ClipboardEvent constructor? (#33)

DataTransfer objects can't be created by script as things stand; they can only be gotten out of an existing ClipboardEvent or DragEvent.  That makes the constructor version with a DataTransfer dictionary member somewhat useless in practice...  Maybe the answer is that we should in fact have a way of constructing DataTransfer objects?

Note that Firefox currently ships a version of ClipboardEventInit that takes data and dataType strings and internally constructs a DataTransfer from them....
