The doc string of x-select-request-type says, among other things:

    If the value is nil, try `COMPOUND_TEXT' and `UTF8_STRING', and
    use the more appropriate result.  If both fail, try `STRING', and
    then `TEXT'.

But the code only falls back on `STRING', I don't see it trying
`TEXT'.  Am I missing something, or do we need to fix the doc string?
