I like what you are suggesting. It drives me nuts when I try to debug
some demo app and the debugger is constrained to be inside the
canvas. I'm just looking for some way that we could make this work
right for the average schmo, who would not know how to change their
embed tag.
Maybe what we really want is for the dev console to always make the
embed tag fill the browser window? Then I think I would be cool with
not forcing the debugger to fit on the canvas.
Will this work in DHTML and both swf8 and 9?

Interesting. I didn't know you could do that.
Here's my concern: If a naive user (like myself) says:
<canvas width="100">
<debug width="200">
...
</canvas>
and you make your change, won't I end up with a debugger window
where I can't get to the resize tab so I can't make it fit on my
window?
then you hit your forehand with your hand and say "oops" (or drag
the debugger to the left until you can resize it)
There's a boatload of heuristics going on here to make the debugger
window size as useful as possible, and I'd want to make sure we
didn't break any of those. In particular, look at the history of
this bug for an example of how dangerous what looks like a simple
change can be:
http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-7602
So, I'm pretty leery of your proposed change.
If you think it is dangerous. I can live with it changed locally, I
just thought others might want it.

Why can't you just have the canvas be 100% and then set the actual
size using the embed tag?
My app reacts to the canvas size and gets all warped that way
