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

Thanks for raising this Boris.  A common use case for Event constructors is to clone / wrap an event with a few changes (eg. I see event delegation libraries do this sometimes).  That use case would still be possible, right?

In general I think DOM folks (@annevk, @smaug---- IIRC) have said we want event constructors to follow a pretty rigid pattern of just taking the Event attributes directly and not having any smarts / conversions.  If we agree to that pattern then I suggest we [proceed with shipping](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/blink-dev/5zb6MESKRog) the constructor as speced now in blink, and explore adding ways to create DataTransfer objects (possibly low priority though).  WDYT?
