Couldn't you simply define that "fullscreenchange" is fired after the
fullscreen is cleared, but still fire it on the element which used to
be the fullscreened element. It's nicer for authors to not have to
deal with two events.

Wasn't the idea that if the user denies the fullscreen request, the
browser can still "full-window" the element inside the normal browser
window, thus taking care substitute for the website?
