I haven't noticed such a tag already exists for window.open. True fullscreen support needs to be added, for better hardware level support, such as other windowless plugins including Flash and Silverlight. The current fullscreen tag only maximizes the window. Maybe a tag called maximize can be added, to better define fullscreen mode. For example, maximize="borderless" will enable fullscreen with no borders, and maximize="hardware" will switch to hardware fullscreen mode. This mode could even turn the width and height attributes to specify and control hardware level resolution of the screen, instead of window dimensions.
