An application is free to copy whatever type it wants to the clipboard.
Every drawing application I know of copies a PICT by default.  Some can
optionally copy PostScript.  Even bitmap oriented programs place a bitmap
or pixmap on the clipboard as PICT.  PICT is an extremely flexible opcode
oriented system.  It's not confined to only bitmaps or only scaleable objects.
