While I do not know the Safari-Desktop-implementation right now, I know that
Apple's UTI has a URL type.
See here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/miscellaneous/Reference/UTIRef/Articles/System-DeclaredUniformTypeIdentifiers.html
It would be interesting to see a statement of Apple somewhere committing to
these types but I can't find that.

The Clipboard API spec has a section on Mandatory Data Types [1]. It
says The implementation must recognise the native OS clipboard format
description for the following data types, and contains a list of 14
mime types. Most of them have clear purposes, but a few seem arbitrary
to me. Since I haven't been around the group long enough to know all
the history, can someone help me clear these up?
text/uri-list :
This seems like a Windows specific data type. Does Mac or Linux have a
OS clipboard format description for this?
text/css, application/javascript, application/json :
What is the use case here? Why would there be code on the clipboard in
it's own format instead of just text/plain that happened to be code?
Separately, do we want to apply this to Drag and Drop as well?
Thanks!
