But what are the rules and conventions? Why would Finder put the icon in the pasteboard on the assumption that is what the user wants, but TextEdit would paste in the actual file on the assumption that is what the user wants? It seems schizophrenic. I just want a list of rules of how to use the Pasteboard in a way that conforms to what users expect. If I start ignoring the TIFF part of the pasteboard in favor of the URL on the assumption that is what the user wants, why is the tiff there anyway? And will that get me into trouble in other cases?

The Finder also puts the location of the file on the pasteboard, and I believe TextEdit sees that, recognizes that it's an image file, and reads the file into an image. You can do the same fairly easily.
