Description
Windows Drag and Drop system allows to restore HTML formatting for a dragged part of HTML text.

This should be useful when a selected text contains only closing or opening tags of HTML markup. If  an opening HTML tag is not in the current selection, drag and drop target is able to find out what styles are used on the source to render a text.

An example of selected text that could be dragged form a native application.

EVALUATION Previously we provided all document to user. But it was absolutely inconsistent with Linux platform. A programmer had to implement platform specific code even for simple cases. Now (CR 6513578) on X11 and Windows platforms we provide the same data. The additional flavor have to gain benefits from Windows clipboard machinery. See CR 7073803 to find additional info.
