+  Apps that support pasting more than one [=clipboard item=] could, for example, provide a user interface that previews the contents of each [=clipboard item=] and allow the user to choose which one to paste.
+  Further, apps are expected to enumerate the [=/MIME type=]s of the [=clipboard item=] they are pasting and select the one best-suited for the app according to some app-specific algorithm.
+  Alternatively, an app can present the user with options on how to paste a [=clipboard item=], e.g. "paste as image" or "paste formatted text", etc.
