Re: [w3c/editing] clarifications for the pickling design proposal (Issue #393)

I think the custom format design supports this use case. If a Browser supports the custom format feature, then the site should be able to read a custom clipboard MIME type if it's available on the clipboard. For native apps, they need to add support for the custom format(in this case MathML), and this is orthogonal to the custom format proposal for the web. However, if the popular native apps (let's say on Windows) like Office, Adobe etc add support for a custom type, then it probably would be adopted by all the other apps on that specific platform. Having said that, I think we should leave this decision up to the OS to decide whether they really want to standardize the format or not. We(EditingWG) don't have control over the clipboard format standardization process in the OS. I think that is what [this ](https://github.com/w3c/clipboard-apis/issues/141#issuecomment-864385717)comment alluded to, but maybe @whsieh can shed some more light on this.
