Please hold this patch while I review it.

I think there is a good reason why I didn't use it, but I have to figure it out again. :-/

It has to do with a promised pasteboard type (what Microsoft calls delayed rendering) and the conversions to the other text types. I think we need to use a custom type to distinguish between being asked for promised data vs. being asked for a conversion.
