Re: [whatwg/fullscreen] Add keyboard locking option (PR #232)

> @foolip does Google have thoughts about usefulness of this API? One of my concerns is that, given browser shortcuts are already locked on fullscreen without keyboard lock on Safari and Chrome, people will not care about this API unless they care about Escape key behavior.

I'm reviewing this as spec editor and am not planning to implement anything myself, so no implementer interest from Google. But that isn't needed process wise since Apple and Mozilla do want this change.

That being said, given how "declarative" this API is I think it should be possible to define it in terms of the keyboard lock API later if we want to do that, or at the very least define how they interact. But to figure that out really requires an attempt to implement this, I think.
