        <pre>Your documentation promises the ability to access the pasteboard data in multiple formats: <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/iad/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/SafariJSProgTopics/Tasks/CopyAndPaste.html">https://developer.apple.com/library/iad/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/SafariJSProgTopics/Tasks/CopyAndPaste.html</a>

however, if i copy rich text from e.g. Pages.app, i cannot read the rich text from within Safari.
you can verify this here:

Chrome and Firefox do not expose this problem. Firefox even gives access to RTF data when rich text is on the pasteboard.</pre>
