Yes, I was thinking about mapping some of the formats, and ignoring the 
rest. Looking at the lisp files inside emacs, only these formats seem to 
be in use:

image/*
text/html (which is treated as text in sgml-mode)
x/special-\\(?:gnome\\|KDE\\|mate\\)-files

So CF_BITMAP and CF_HDROP, and maybe CF_HTML would cover all. Metafiles 
could be converted to bitmaps.

As for other formats, other than offer them as application/octet-stream, 
I don't know.
