Re: [clipboard] kill onbefore* events?

I'm not very familiar with onbefore{cut|paste|copy}, but they sound like
very specialized versions of the beforeinput event.

What do these events provide that you don't get from handling beforeinput?
(well, other than the upcoming context "I'm about to do a cut/paste/copy")
