Not really.  It still uses the same protocol, XDND.

I still think it might be an endian problem.  If mozilla for instance
says that the text is in unicode (UTF-16), Emacs will currently assume
UTF-16 as little endian.  If this is not so, the text will be mangeled.
However, if it differs between machines, that is a stupid design, 
because
there is no way to tell which endian the UTF-16 data has.  If you look
in lisp/x-dnd.el you can find utf-16le there.
