To add to emacs a key binding that runs a script calling pandoc, 
something like (untested, you are asking for ideas), and inserting new 
text from clipboard

in_file=`mktemp --tmpdir convert.XXXXXX.html`
out_file=`mktemp --tmpdir convert.XXXXXX.org`
xclip -out -target text/html >"$in_file"
pandoc --output="$out_file" "$in_file"
xclip -in <"$out_file"

No need to setup org-protocol. Maybe it is possible to avoid temporary 
files.

TODO:
- Temporary files should be removed
- Unsure if pandoc is safe in respect to peculiar HTML formatting, maybe 
it has some special options for conversion of non-trusted files.
