[w3c/clipboard-apis] mac os doesn't recognize 'image/svg+xml' mime type (#105)

On windows, I can copy svg content to clipboard, with mime type 'image/svg+xml', and then paste to other programs as a vector graph.
On mac os, this doesn't seem to work. In mac os clipboard, the file type would become 'unkonwn'.
An example python code is as follows, I use `matplotlib` to generate a svg graph, then use `PyQt` to send it to clipboard:
```
import io
import numpy as np
from PySide.QtGui import QApplication, QImage
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import matplotlib as mpl

mpl.use('Qt5Agg') # or Qt4Agg

# do a matplotlib plot
fig = plt.figure()
plt.plot(np.arange(10), np.arange(10))

# this saves the plot as svg to clipboard
buf = io.BytesIO()
fig.savefig(buf, format='svg')
data = QtCore.QMimeData()
data.setData('image/svg+xml', buf.getvalue())
QApplication.clipboard().setMimeData(data)
```
This works on windows but not on mac. 

Is this because mac osx clipboard doesn't recognize 'imag/svg+xml'?
