Simple copy-and-paste of Math... not even working!

I recently had a very simple request… soooo simple: our user just wishes to copy the formula from Mathematica (which can copy it in MathML) and paste it on something that does web.

I just went around and tried… SeaMonkey should support that in editor and reader: copy a piece of HTML with MathML and paste it, didn’t even work… my 1/x became a place full of nbsps in three lines!

Litterature about user-initiated transfers (clipboard, copy, paste, drag, drop...)

This page attempts to recollect a large amount of pointers to specifications, articles, API-documents, and attempts that related to the clipboard and more generally to user-initiated transfers, such as copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop as we know them in common desktop environments.

It comes as an attempt to clarify a few ideas in order to propose sensible copy-and-paste facilities that web-page scripts could influence.
