But why? There is a perfectly reasonable standard way to cut and paste in a way that works in virtually all apps that users are well used to. This is non-standard, non-intuitive and difficult to implement 'solution' to a problem that doesn't appear to exist. That's why it's hard to implement, because it's not (on the face of it) very sensible.
Also, not all mouses (mice?) have a middle button. The standard current Apple Wireless Mouse for example, does not.
