We'll certainly continue to support the ASCII pasteboard type; we just prefer the W3URIPboardType (i.e., we look for and use it first).

Some things, like the Text object in particular, export only ASCII

like OmniWeb, etc., are able to parse ASCII input and determine,
for instance, if this is a URL, and use it as such.
