Re: [w3c/clipboard-apis] Remove clipboardchange event (and replace it possibly with a promise returning method) (Issue #228)

roraja left a comment (w3c/clipboard-apis#228)

As per the recent discussions in the working group meetings and the revised proposal for ClipboardChange event as specified in the explainer - https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/main/ClipboardAPI/ClipboardChangeEvent/clipboard-change-event-explainer.md, the event should work in all browser agents because:

1. The event no longer requires clipboard-read permission. It only requires sticky activation which works in all browsers.
2. The event provides mandatory types as part of event handler payload so the event is still useful without the need to read entire clipboard contents.

And as discussed, the event would help in cases where an update to UI is required as a result of clipboard change event without any user triggered click e.g. showing a list of available clipboard mime types on webpage.

Can we close this issue if there are no other concerns ?
