As far as I understand this issue, the best solution is to leave it up
to the user-agent. If they want to provide a full screen option let
them have it. If users find it annoying or if it's heavily abused,
they either disable it or move to another browser that knows what it's
doing(tm).
Basically, full screen video should be a client thing. The HTML 5
spec should merely suggest user-agents not to start in full screen
mode by default. I think that's a good compromise. Not elegant, but
probably works.
Agreed.
However I wasn't talking about fullscreen in my previous email in this
thread. I was talking about full-window. Something that has entierly
different security constraints and something that webpages will be able
to do even if we don't provide an API.
But as I said, I'm fine with leaving full-window to a later version of
the spec if we see there's a need for it.
