I think they're useful, but very badly named -- authors will think they fire before every cut, copy, and paste. So while it's normally best to specify whatever browsers already support, in this case I think it would be best to introduce a new event and try to get rid of the old ones. The old ones are named too confusingly. > Events for the latter are cut, copy, & paste. Despite of their names, they > fire before editing commands are executed. Ugh. Well, that's confusing but not as bad as it could be. If browsers are interoperable on this score, I guess we have to keep them.
