Which is exactly the core of my question. If you intend to make it say,
safe to put OpenEXR into the clipboard (as opposed to letting an app just
put any bytes there), the UA has to understand OpenEXR. Since I don't see
how the UA can understand every conceivable format in existence both future
and past, I don't see how that should work.
