with the current msgs we can use multiple GRAB(type)s & REQUEST(type)s ;)

Whereas in both win32 and X you can claim several formats and then the consumer side can pick which one to use (i.e. a web browser would support copy as html or copy as text, etc). I'm not sure we want to really support this, as it increases the complexity of cut and paste quite a bit, and is perhaps not as important as just getting text cut and paste working.
