Hi Ian, I've done some work on a spec for clipboard events, initially just to make up my mind about what Opera needs to implement, but as it might be a useful thing in general I've volunteered to edit it as a WebApps WG delivery. It will be a fairly small spec, only handling clipboard events. You may or may not have noticed the E-mails on public-webapps: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2010OctDec/1067.html spec draft: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2010OctDec/att-1067/cbapispec.html Now, this needs a bit of syncing with HTML5 because right now that spec defines a ClipboardEvent interface that contains some of the stuff in HTML5's DataTransfer interface. To avoid this overlap I guess there are two ways forward, either I remove those bits from the clipboard events spec and reference HTML5, or you remove them from HTML5 and say that DataTransfer extends ClipboardEvent. I'm happy either way (though if I'm going to reference DataTransfer I'll call out explicitly what methods are required for clipboard events and omit the DnD specific stuff). Which approach do you think would be better? Another issue I'd like a comment on is whether you have spec'ed or are close to spec'ing something that helps with the paste-text-with-binary-blobs-in use cases. I don't yet know how we should do that yet. Thanks in advance - get to this anytime, it's mostly just spec organisation bureaucracy questions, so not terribly important ;-) -- Hallvord R. M.
