Design discussion about the JSON responses from ZeroClipboard's "complete" event

CURRENT:

{
  "flashVersion": "WIN 11,2,000",
  "text": "Blah blah blah"
}

FUTURE:

{
  "type": "aftercopy",
  "target": currentElement,
  "success": {
    "text/plain":      true,
    "text/html":       true,
    "application/rtf": true
  },
  "data": {
    "text/plain":      "Blah blah blah",
    "text/html":       "<b>Blah blah blah</b>",
    "application/rtf": "{\\\\rtf1\\\\ansi{\\\\pard\\n{\\\\b Blah blah blah}\\\\par}"
  }
}

QUESTIONS:

  1. Should success only be set to true if ALL sub-status values are true, or if ANY are true?
  2. Are "text/plain", "text/html", "application/rtf", etc. too verbose? I was aiming for something very standardized since we will also be opening this up to custom data types.

I don't think success makes sense keeping if all the sub-status values also denote success.

"text/plain", "text/html", "application/rtf" make sense to me

Renamed status to success to clarify the meaning of the Boolean values.
