I wanted to give the list a heads up because the related issue was somewhat 
controversial last time. 

To give some context, this is about whether image alt text should be included 
in the plain text pasteboard. Most everyone is of the opinion that it should, 
but several of us feel that it should be delimited to some degree so that it's 
more clear this came from an image and was not originally presented as plain 
text.

Here is the original thread and bug that resulted in this feature being 
implemented but left disabled by default:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11200

The discussion also resulted in an HTML defect filed to clarify this portion of 
the spec.
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21403

While I still feel there is room to explore some delimiting options, the HTML 
spec has since been updated to be less ambiguous in this area, and the other 
main browsers support the behavior, so I think it's reasonable to enable it by 
default until such time as 1) this is shown to be problematic, or 2) a better 
solution is proposed.

Here's the new bug for the settings change.
