You are confusing Internet Explorer with a web browser.
By that I mean that you obviously use IE and aren't considering other
UA's, including mobile devices.
Certainly Firefox and Safari on the Mac I am currently using don't
support this 'feature'.

Perhaps you and I have different ideas about what is meant by
"full screen", but why would a page need to hide anything when the
video is full screen? The page itself won't be visible, because
the video will be taking up the entire screen!
My thought was that it would be the same function as the current
"full screen" that the browser has. I.e. the page says "For full-
screen, press F11". The user presses F11 and the browser makes the
window full-screen, and additionally tells the page that this has
happened via an event, so it can arrange to make the appropriate
content fill the entire viewport. (Or not, if they want to continue
to display captions, or ads, or a set of links).
This is a simple solution which is integrated with existing browser
functionality and controls and is not specific to video.
