Browsers are allowed to provide full screen, however there's no API for

Indeed. But it would be good to have an event which triggers when the
user chooses to go full screen, so the page can e.g. hide headers and
borders. (Or perhaps the onresize() event on the body already does
that?).
You can sort of hack your way to that using
if (window.innerWidth == screen.width)
{
// selectively hide elements
}
... but the solution isn't ideal. Making browsers support CSS
media="projection" is, IMHO, a better long-term solution.
