+  Some platforms may support having more than one [=/clipboard item=] at a time on the [=clipboard=], while other platforms replace the previous [=/clipboard item=] with the new one.
+
+  A [=/clipboard item=] has a <dfn>list of representations</dfn>, each <dfn>representation</dfn> with an associated <dfn for=representation>mime type</dfn> (a [=/MIME type=]) and <dfn for=representation>data</dfn> (a {{ClipboardItemData}}).
+
+  <p class=note>
+   In the example where the user copies a range of cells from a spreadsheet, it may be represented as an image (image/png), an HTML table (text/html), or plain text (text/plain).
+  </p>
+
+  Each of these [=/MIME type=]s describe a different [=representation=] of the same [=/clipboard item=] at different levels of fidelity and make the [=/clipboard item=] more consumable by target applications during paste.
+
+  <p class=note>
+   Making the range of cells available as an image will allow the user to paste the cells into a photo editing app, while the text/plain format can be used by text editor apps.
+  </p>
+
+  A [=/clipboard item=] can also optionally have a <dfn>presentation style</dfn> that helps distinguish whether apps "pasting" a [=/clipboard item=] should insert the contents of an appropriate [=representation=] inline at the point of paste or if it should be treated as an attachment.

Done.
