Hi,

This is yet another feedback from multiple browser vendors (Apple, Google, 
Microsoft) that got together in Redmond last Thursday to discuss editing API 
and related events.


It came to our attention that `beforeinput` event fired for paste would need to 
expose HTML (or images, etc...) instead of plain text.  To expose that data, we 
suggest to add `dataTransfer` property on the `InputEvent` interface to expose 
these non-plaintext contents.

As suggested in
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2016JanMar/0025.html

we suggest doing so in:
http://w3c.github.io/editing/contentEditable.html
as a partial interface definition for `InputEvent` which defines `data`, 
`dataTransfer`, and `editType` IDL attributes.
