Ian, Can you please respond to my request how to implement other flavour names? Also, I would like to see test-cases and reports for the implementations you indicate here. paul Le 22-oct.-08 à 17:02, Ian Hickson a écrit : On Wed, 22 Oct 2008, Charles McCathieNevile wrote: Ian, how stable do you think this bit of the HTML5 spec is? (I haven't looked yet...) Drag and drop is very stable, it's implemented in three browsers now. There's some outstanding feedback, but not much. The implementation of copy and paste in terms of drag and drop (a design motivated primarily by accessibility and security concerns) is not widely implemented, though I have no pending feedback regarding changes to that. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

I wouldn't call it a security hole as much as I would call it unbounded attack surface area. :) At any rate, it would be surface area for any OS that allowed arbitrary types on the clipboard; this isn't a Windows implementation issue. A safer approach may be to require that the browsers make sure the things sipped into the clipboard/drag-content are only safe things. That's the rub of my feedback, yes. -Chris
