In all the last-released versions of the major browsers (except Opera),
there's support for cut-and-paste events like "onpaste" on <input
type="text"... and <textarea> elements.

Is there any plan to put these events into the standard? Isn't that a basic tenent of WHATWG--if the real-world vendor implementations are in consensus yet don't reflect the standard, change (or add to) the standard to reflect
the de facto market standard, so long as any modifications are backwards
compatible?

You're probably looking for this: http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/clipops/clipops.html. A search for "clipboard data API" in the archives might bring up some interesting discussion as well.

Cheers,
