Re: [w3c/clipboard-apis] Clarify clipboardData's interaction with the Drag Data Store (#50)

I second that clarifying exactly what *drag data store* does when it's blacked by clipboard (or pasteboard on macOS) would be very useful.

I also find the term *drag data store* to be really confusing for copy & paste. On macOS, both drag & drop and copy & paste are backed by the same pasteboard API with a different name (see https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/PasteboardGuide106/Articles/pbConcepts.html). I think that this abstraction better matches `DataTransfer` abstraction Web API uses. Why don't we rename *drag data store* to something more generic like *clipboard data store*?
