With the async clipboard API, we currently uphold these same rules for the same reasons (as well as consistency with the legacy API).

@whsieh For cross-origin copy/paste using DataTransfer APIs, Safari only allows to read sanitized HTML from the standard html format -- Apart from what Ryosuke described in [this ](https://github.com/w3c/clipboard-apis/issues/150#issuecomment-973293309)comment, are there any other reasons as to why this approach was chosen by Safari?
