You referring to [Fullscreen], I suppose. I should rename this feature to
chromeless to avoid confusion (although that might create another kind of
confusion).

Afaik, the Fullscreen API you're referring to lets you take a DOM element
and make it full screen.

Here, what we're interested in is an API that lets us advise the UA
upfront we'd rather run without any browser chrome, similar to
[view-mode]'s fullscreen mode or Apple's [apple-mobile-web-app-capable]
meta tag. I feel like a declarative API would be better for this.
