I absolutely don't want this feature and the problem is not that HTML5 is not on par with Flash, but that Flash was able to do it in the first place.
Am I the only one who uses and likes click to play for flash? Great way to block clipboard hijacks. And now there is no click to play for html5-clipboard API.
There must be a user prompt before a website captures a hover, mousover or EVEN CLICK and decides to overwrite the current code, mail or whatever valuable thing I currently have in my clipboard with advertising links!
