I did some experimenting. It looks like the interpretation of the 
clipboard is left up to the receiving application.

If I "set the clipboardData["HTML"]" and then paste into BBEdit, I get 
plain text with no styling. If I look at the clipboard in the OS X 
Finder, it says it contains styled text, and displays the styling, but 
there is no indication of any html code and no image references. If I 
paste into a new Mozilla email, I get plain text with no styling and no 
image references.
