Ok, I take your point, but I think it is valid to say that I am *a
lot* more likely to want to watch video fullscreen than see an image
fullscreen, so that is the reasoning behind my thinking, but I do
understand that this makes <video> different (special?).
Perhaps, if there is a use case for viewing images fullscreen, we can
add the ability to the <image> or <img> tag?

That's my opinion.
I guess that's the heart of it. My view is the opposite. I don't
think video should be special in this regard.
If you want to see an embedded image full screen, you do "View
Image", then "Full Screen". Why can video not be the same? Of
course, the page should have the option (with the event I
mentioned) of making doing "Full Screen" for the browser Do The
Right Thing with the video, if they think that's what the Right
Thing is. And maybe that would become the norm on video sharing sites.
