Be explicit about before* events about clipboard-apis HOT 4 CLOSED

Alternatively—as the term before* events is used more often—would it be better to call them something different? For example group them under “clipboard events”.

Example usage:

The clipboard events can be used to override the internal logic.

6.2 Processing model for clipboard events

Typically, the clipboard events fire before a menu is shown to the user

I'm not sure how this would play with the actions (maybe those can be grouped as clipboard actions?).

There has been some pushback against the before* events, they are not well implemented anywhere (not even in IE) so I'm leaning towards just killing them. Obviously that would solve this wording problem too :)

If you do decide to keep the before{copy/cut/paste} events, note that referring to them as before* seems like it should include beforeinput as well.

So, +1 to rewording this (if you keep them).
