I think the real problem is that the HTML <q> element was badly thought out. In practice it is very rarely used and violates graceful degradation policies. In general, it is correct that copying in plain text mode should not include any generated content. However, copying in richer formats probably ought to, although, if possible, should maintain the distinction between styling and content. That's not possible to do with HTML fragments, because generated content cannot always be in style attributes, so style sheet rules would need to be carried over and pasted in the appropriate place. There isn't standard OS support for this, so it would only work within a coordinated suite of applications. >
