It's true that I don't use a Mac.

However, I think it's a reasonable position that the idea of "going to 
full screen" is a user agent thing (no matter what type of UA it is, 
even mobile) but that content should be able to respond appropriately 
when users make that change. If this sucks on Firefox on the Mac, we 
need to fix Firefox on the Mac.

[The only problem might occur if there was an OS whereby every app was 
always "full screen", and so such a function would make no sense.]

Whether switching to CSS "projection" is the right thing to do I'll 
leave to the CSS experts, but I do think there should be an event.
