Sorry, i've been doing other stuff....

Mathematical information
With content such as mathematics, simply copying rendered text and
pasting it into another application generally leads to most of the
semantics being lost.
I think "math" is more appropriate here.
Disagree. In explanatory text the more correct term is clearer. "math" is
only american in usage, and avoiding the feeling that it is a typo would
reduce congitive dissonance without being incorrect.
Calling clearData() empties the system clipboard, or removes the
specified type of data from the clipboard. See HTML5 for details
[HTML5].
This has issues. If the user has inserted something the user cares
about into the system clipboard, then allowing a web page to stomp on
it is annoying. Something needs to protect the user from such web
apps.
Yes - should that comment be on HTML5 though, or alternatively is there a
reason not to copy it?
The user might paste hidden data which the user is not aware of.
".. not aware of" is kinda messy. Also, perhaps "hidden data" already
indicates the user doesn't know about it?
"not realising it is there"?
Remove all of the following elements: SCRIPT, APPLET, OBJECT, FORM,
INPUT, BUTTON, TEXTAREA, SELECT, OPTION, OPTGROUP and comment nodes.
For all mentioned elements except FORM, also remove all child nodes.
I can imagine doing magical things with a <style> tag...
However, removing the active value from a select seems suboptimal.
If you see:
State: [ .... |v]
And use it to get:
State: [ Washington |v]
When you copy it, do you expect:
"State: " or "State: Washington"? I expect the latter, it's
considerably more useful.
Agree.
