 // This class is used to cut/copy/paste text strings and inventory items around 
 // the world. Use LLClipboard::instance().method() to use its methods.
+// Note that the text and UUIDs are loosely coupled only. There are few cases
+// where the viewer does offer a serialized version of the UUID on the clipboard.
+// In those case, the text is overridden when copying/cutting the item. 
+// In all other cases, the text and the UUIDs are very much independent.
