I am glad you will be restoring it. I believe it to be very useful.

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] What happened to the cut & paste option of WAVE?

This functionality was removed from last week's update to WAVE. Even though
code and file uploads accounted for less than 1% of WAVE requests, we've
heard very loudly that this functionality is missed and we'll be restoring
this functionality in the next couple days.

If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check out the new version of WAVE -
http://wave.webaim.org We're still working out a few bugs, but are very
excited about the new functionality and much smarter evaluation WAVE now
provides. Also of note is that we have released a WAVE API
(http://wave.webaim.org/api) that allows easy collection of WAVE data on
lots of web pages. Code and file uploads will soon be allowed via the API
also.
