Re: [w3c/clipboard-apis] Async clipboard read and race conditions. (Issue #180)

The Web Editing Working Group just discussed `async clipboard read and race conditions`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;Travis> Topic: async clipboard read and race conditions<br>
&lt;Travis> github: https://github.com/w3c/clipboard-apis/issues/180<br>
&lt;Travis> Checking to see if Anupam can join to discuss...<br>
&lt;Travis> whsieh: the behavior is basically checking (in Windows) the sequence number<br>
&lt;Travis> .. apple has a similar principle. If the data contents changed between binding the requested content and the read, we will throw.<br>
&lt;Travis> johanneswilm: is this going to result in unexpected errors?<br>
&lt;Travis> whsieh: there are lots of cases where errors can be thrown (in general).<br>
&lt;Travis> .. So, I'm not sure this is a problem.<br>
&lt;Travis> .. E.g., if the user decides to cancel out of a paste operation, that is also an error.<br>
&lt;Travis> .. so perhaps this can be one of them?<br>
