I really can't understand you.

1) Windows has no selection concept.

Agreed, but we can use selection copy and middle-button paste within lyx.

2) Some programs exists which copy selection to the clipboard.

These programs are wrong.

3) Abdel makes a patch that treats selection as the clipboard.

This is also wrong. Mouse selection should not change system clipboard.

4) This allows pasting with the middle mouse button and without this
   patch the selection concept would not be used by LyX on Windows.

If you keep clipboard and selection separate, lyx can use middle
button paste without confusing windows people.

6) You don't want that this handy feature is implemented.

If it is handy to change clipboard in an unexpected way (to windows
users), this is not handy.
