Thanks for explaining. I just misunderstood the difference in the spec. Now it makes sense. I think we should leave the spec with a Maximize function because it does make it easier for automation and everyone would expect it to exist. I think if "Fullscreen" gets fully described in the spec, it will make a lot more sense why they are different. I didn't realize you were really describing "F11". :-)
