It looks like coerceToHtmlText handles a few additional cases:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ClipData.Item.html#coe...

e.g. a content: URI or intent: that this clipboard represents.

should we use that instead?

Might need to ask around for concrete examples of clipboard item suppliers that
may use those mechanisms.
