Consider a webpage in which a side-effect of clicking on some scripted
button is to trigger a small animation (using <video>) elsewhere on the
page.  If your browser is configured to show <video> full-screen, this
webpage will become nearly unusable, because the small animation will take
over the screen every time you click on a button.

I am proposing an additional attribute for <video> so that the browser
will know not to do that.
