Target Milestone: M11
I just realized...this may be a subissue (or even duplicate) of 13068.

Marking M12. Getting basic plaintext copy/paste working is important for beta.
A regression test for this (as soon as I get a review to check it in) will be part of the out sink test suite, and will be: TestOutput -i text/html -o text/plain -w 0 -c OutTestData/simple.out OutTestData/simple.html
Changing Component to Output.
