Re: [w3c/clipboard-apis] Support for delayed clipboard data (#41)

Ooh, cool, I did not know.

That makes me think of Chrome Remote Desktop, which could make use of a delayed clipboard the other way. Right now, I believe reads the clipboard every time you switch the app, and pushes that to the remote computer. If it had a [clipboard listener](https://github.com/garykac/clipboard/blob/master/clipboard.md#event-listener-for-clipboard-change-events) whose handler could asynchronously query for formats it could also benefit from those OS mechanisms, right?
