After reading a bit more on this, I have a few more questions...

- Is this something that users will see?
  - If so, why not simply add a "Descriptive Name" field to the media
type registration? This doesn't seem specific to clipboards to me...

- Why does it need to be part of the media type registration? Why does
it need to be registered at all?

Pointers to documentation would be very appreciated.

Thanks,
Simon
