No, not full cell Json too complicated. Too risky.
The notebook already produce not as compliant Json 
structure than what we wish.

but recent merge of 
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/2333
already add the possibility to do it with metadata.

Cross notebook we could use the storage API.

I would still really like to avoid flash. Html5 have a draft of clipboard API
hopefully it will be available soon enough.
