Re: [whatwg/fullscreen] Exiting full screen should unlock screen orientation (Issue #202)

> It retains the orientation even if you rotate the device? How is it unlocked in that case?

Sorry, I was not clear. Imagine: 

1. `.lock("landscape")`
2. screen orientation changes and locks to landscape.
3. User physically rotates the device in their hand -90deg. 
4. `.unlock()`
5. Screen stays in landscape, but it's "unlocked". 
6. User rotates device to portrait by rotating phone 90deg (back to starting position). 
7. Screen orientation switches to portrait, as expected. 

> (It does seem good to just unlock and let any additional rotation depend on the device orientation.)

Precisely. The OS takes over - or OS conventions are followed.
