Taking your point further, however, it feels like what you're ultimately saying is that having chrome and being full-screen are two independent properties. In which case, shouldn't we just have a `viewMode` ('full-screen, minimized, etc.) property and a boolean `chrome` property? Also, this seems like the wrong channel to have this conversation. >>> I feel like a declarative API would be better for this. >> >> So being able to request a view-mode?
