Another thing worth considering, if we are making major changes to the clipboard code, is that Kenichi Handa pointed out some time ago that the encoding part of the X clipboard support is now done in Lisp (xselect.el). Windows could do this too.
Sorry, it is select.el, not xselect.el, though it looks pretty X specific, so I don't think it could be reused directly.
At the moment this is done via {de,en}code_coding() and a couple of friends. Is that the same thing?
No, that is something different, but lets put this bit off until the on-demand clipboard changes, which are going to be major anyway. This might all become much simpler once the unicode branch is merged anyway.

That's why I suggested making all utf-16 coding systems (maybe even utf-8) mean "use CF_UNICODETEXT". Even I do not understand all the subtle differences between them and which is appropriate to use for Windows clipboard, so we can't expect average users to.
