Sorry, I mis-read your original reply as simply being an unhelpful (and
self-righteous) "just use Google -- all the information is out there" type
of response, since it was pointing me to documentation that I was already
aware of and which didn't answer my question.

If that wasn't what you intended, then I can only apologise for my
response -- particularly if my original post was unclear as to what info I
was after.  It just goes to show the dangers of jumping to conclusions
when reading mailing lists or newsgroups (even though I did wait several
hours before actually sending my reply, which is the usual advice).


Incidentally, the document you mentioned /is/ interesting, if only for
what is omitted.  I notice near the end:

"Acceptance test

"Changes to the clipboard protocol should not affect current (or future)
clipboard applications. [...]

"Test strategy

"This section has not been written."
