SpiderWoman supports both NXAsciiPboardType and W3URIPboardType.
Now what should happen to the ascii pasteboard if more than one
W3xxxPboardType are used? For instance, see Rohit's proposal for
W3Link objects, or a W3HTMLPasteboardType, which both could have an
ascii representation.
Rohit initial proposal also raise another question: we (OmniWeb,
Pages, eText, SpiderWoman) agreed on the name W3URIPboardType, while
Rohit's AGENDA first spelled it W3URIPasteboardType. Should we
stick with the first name, for the sake of "compatibility" with
other NX pasteboard types, or should we use the (better) second one?

I couldn't agree more. Pages will provide both.
