Finally. To me, this looks like a step further away from Flash (used for copying things to the clipboard), which I see as a great thing. Also, I've been working on a password manager that could dramatically benefit from such an API. I hope that browser vendors will allow synthetic copy/paste (especially copy) events if explicitly allowed by the user (similar to how geolocation APIs work). This would be especially helpful for mobile devices where it's difficult to copy things at the moment.
