FWIW although this has been merged into a working draft, it's unclear how stable the feature is; looking at the git history it seems to have been part of a mass-merge in 2018, which I didn't investigate deeply, and looking at the issue tracker there are some issues like w3c/clipboard-apis#228 which could lead to design changes. So this seems like a case where we could use the process for early stage features. |
