If you have some text with an annotation (e.g. bold, italics or a link) and copy in some text, the annotation is closed off, the text is insert as plain text, and then the annotation is restarted. I think users will expect "paste as current style" over "paste as plain text".

LibreOffice uses additive annotations, so pasting italic text into bold text results in bold+italic text. Google drive uses our current functionality.
An editor at the English Wikipedia comments that the ability to copy and paste a link is " definitely not an [sic] luxury feature but core functionality." I am inclined to agree.

That's presumably meant for bug 33105 which is about copying and pasting rich content, rather than this one?
erm, yes. Sorry.
Normal paste (rich paste) should preserve the formatting of the pasted content (even if that means plain). Plain text paste should take the formatting of the target.
