Comment(by tomeu):

 Replying to [comment:11 walter]:
 > Has anyone ever tested Tomeu's proposed solution from 6-months ago? This
 doesn't seem to be about activity compatibility--it seems to be about
 rich-text conversion to/from the clipboard, something that crops up more
 often than not with Browse (and Write?).

 I think that Gregorio refers to the more general problem of making sure
 that activities can share data between them. This requires a lot from
 activity developers, so if we could give more visibility to this issue by
 noting somewhere which formats every activity accepts and offers, we
 should be able to improve significantly this aspect of the user
 experience.

 I plan to check this and other copy&paste issues and see what can be done
 for 8.2.0.
