If you do not know, and nobody can show, that all implementations of the
"application/vcard+xml" format that also support some kind of clipboard
use "..." as the clipboard name, I do not think you should include any-
thing about clipboard names and let others sort that out. Formally, this
information is not needed. (And no, at least on Windows users would not
see what I think is meant by "clipboard name").
