   I think it goes back to Windows 3, I remember reading technical   
   documents about it. I also think that the source application can put the   
   metadata on the clipboard, but delays putting the actual data till the   
   client actually requests it. Imagine pasting a picture in several large   
   formats, it is expensive to store all format choices there.
