Iulian, can you answer this?

Yeah, that's a bit confusing indeed. The logic there is that the
context menu contains both actions in the context of the page, plus
actions in the context of what you're clicking on in the page. But we
have other page-specific actions like Text Encoding and Save As Web
Application in the window menu, so it's not really consistent. Not sure
how we should handle this.

The mockup does indicate that cut/copy/paste should be in the page
context menu, but they're not pictured... hm. Anyway, certainly they
should be there; we have to have UI for them somewhere, and the window
menu isn't a good place.
