The reporter does not argue why this should be changed, but tells his
own opinion.

Yes.I don't see a strong difference between "top alignment, push-down
stack" and "bottom alignment, push-up stack".

And this is very much widespread to change it without a good reason.

HIG is old and doesn't reflect current implementation.  By the way it
contains valuable information and concepts.

- sugar clipboard extends traditional clipboard with clipboard history
and previews
- sugar clipboard serves as a temporary storage for sugar objects: a
paper, an image, a sentence, a URL
- any type of object that can be stored in the Journal can likewise be
transported via the clipboard
- a child may place an object in the clipboard with keyboard shortcuts
or drag and drop

 I don't know if this is fully implemented.  So the clipboard may need
love, yes.
