Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Async Clipboard - image/delayed content (#350)

While data sanitization is a shared need, Clipboard and Drag-and-Drop do have many more unrelated needs, as garykac@ mentioned, such as differing UI events, controllers, and differing security models.

The specification mentions transcoding as a way to improve security. We don't plan to specify exact algorithms for the following reasons:
1) Doing so would effectively force us to unnecessarily enclose large parts of the relevant image format specifications. 
2) Having a precise transcoding algorithm may preclude hardware-accelerated implementations.

However, we will clarify that the transcoding process will output image data conformant with the format's specification.
