IIRC, it has been shown that at least as implemented in Flash Player, it is possible to draw enough distractions to make the users unable to read this message. Also, when the site is legitimate, it's quite annoying to have the overlay there. Personally, I'd rather have to click through a once per-Origin authorization bar (like geolocation in Firefox) than watch the "press esc" overlay every time. > * make the location field available to the user so that they can see the URL even when in fullscreen This defeats the point of full screen. If I want a 16:9 video to go full screen on a 16:9 display, I want all screen pixels to be used for the video. > * drop out of fullscreen if navigating to another page This would constrain slide shows do be unnecessarily Ajaxy and less linkable with per-slide JavaScriptless URLs. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
