What was done in the past is that we added some custom RTF keyword
(starting with abi) and used that, at least for cut & paste.
My take is that we should stop using RTF as our cut and paste format
because that's stupid, and the argument of "it will force us to maintain
RTF support" failed. Given the features and model difference, it has
proven to be bad.
But for the short term, use custom RTF keyword.
