What do you think about the current spec text? I've moved the section
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/clipops/clipops.html#processing-model-for-pasting-html-data
to where we prepare the paste event, because integrating this into the
HTML5 DataTransfer stuff becomes much easier this way. (Previously I
spec'ed it so that this work would happen on a script calling
getData('text/html') but that would require some hacking around with the
getData() definition in HTML5.) This means we read and process the HTML
part from the clipboard before firing paste, but any binary/embedded data
will only be read "on demand".
