Relevant to this thread - I've just reported an issue on making the
DataTransfer API safer:
https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/1244

Input there would be great. I'm planning to look at how to add this to
the spec, but I'm not sure what exactly it should say.

I would still like comments from implementors on this question:

> Implementors? Can we rescue clipboardData.items.add(binaryImageData,
> 'image/jpeg') by mandating transcoding? :)
> Is the current Safari Mac behaviour a problem or is it safe enough to spec?
