EVALUATION New HTML Clipboard codec for WIN32 was written. It resolves following problems: 1. doubling HTML and BODY tags in clipboard for full-document selection 2. support for HTML Clipboard format version 1.0 3. made code ready for new htmlDataFlavor (~text/html;class=sun.awt.dnd) with object returned data type (HTMLCodec) for surround HTML and styles transfer.

EVALUATION Correct implementation of MS HTML Clipboard format suggest the present of partially "superfluous" information about HTML document structure and styles. This information mostly locates in the text header. The entries are: //ver < 1.0 VERSION, START_HTML, END_HTML, START_FRAGMENT, END_FRAGMENT, //+ ver 1.0 START_SELECTION, END_SELECTION, SOURCE_URL SOURCE_URL is the most interesting and gives the chance to resolve correctly external relative references. Now in AWT the clipboard header fields are filled by incorrect values that could confuse native applications. New HTML Clipboard header parser/creator has to be implemented. In future release we have to have special HTMLFlavor to provide all MS HTML Clipboard format advantages.
