Re: [w3c/clipboard-apis] Remove clipboard-write permission (PR #164)

I'm not sure where you pulled that definition from, but we have complete control over what gets shipped in Edge regardless of the Blink API shipping process. As an example, we have shipped Pickling API in Edge and we are still waiting on the approval from the Blink API owners to ship in Chromium (which may or may not be approved), but considering that there is a strong developer support from Office products, Adobe, Figma, Google products etc, I'm hoping that it will get approved.

Removing this from the spec makes us non-compliant, and considering the fact that we are the ones maintaining this spec(https://github.com/w3c/clipboard-apis/pull/158), I don't think we would be in favor of this change. If this is the direction Mozilla and Apple want to take, then you are right when you said that "It's a failure of the standards committee".
