Re: [w3c/clipboard-apis] supported type should include MathML types (#141)

I'm afraid that the fact that the public subtree of UTIs is from Apple was not known when we did this (probably in 2009). The same holds for other types actually.

The wikipedia page about UTIs indicates that the public sub-tree is managed by Apple. But that page started in 2010. I do not remember the UTI documentation stating that exclusivity. Another aspect which I don't remember reading is that UTIs would be close to reversed domain names.

What can we do from now?

- Go for some archeology into the different versions of Apple's documentation?
- Change the UTIs? (they are currently implemented by MS Word and MathPlayer).
- Try to involve an Apple active person to define the public mathml types? (who?)

Thanks in advance.

PS: On the MicroSoft side, we had in the Math Working Group a member of MicroSoft which assured that names are free to create by apps. An example of situation where a standard such as MathML is useful to propose converging names.
