Thanks David. The problem with that workaround is it moves the entire browser
to the OSD layer, so its basically unusable for PIP mode where the browser has
to be open in the background to play said video. It may work after minimizing
the non-PIP window though. It may work using a different browser in full screen
mode.

I understand what you're saying regarding the spec, but I think there should be
an additional layer made for PIP windows. Its speculation, but I can only
assume mutter has an additional layer, or uses the OSD layer for the PIP mode,
and has a way to define the PIP popout window separate from other windows.

Perhaps this is something that could be implemented into Wayland?

The behavior of both Gnome and Windows allows for it, they seem to define a
different window layer. I know windows has 'full screen exclusive' and
'fullscreen windowed' - with PiP windows on top of only the 'fullscreen
windowed mode'.

I personally see this is such a basic quality of life feature, I was actually
shocked to see I couldn't use it in KDE, nor define a specific window rule to
make the window on top of full screen windows!
