There's no explicit limits on what you can put on the pasteboard - a  
lot of programs use private types to get special copy/paste semantics  
within the app. (Doubly so for DnD.) As for what types are publicly  
documented, there are a bunch of constants in the NSPasteboard ref,  
and there may be more undocumented common types you can see with the  
Clipboard Viewer example app.
