There are two options as I see it: video-specific full page as you describe here, which is easily provided by a user-agent specific user interface (e.g. a button that appears when you hover on the video), and the general full-screen mechanism along with media-specific style sheets (e.g. F11 and media=projection). > If the spec does say something about performance of <video>, I think it > should be no more than a note that performance may differ across > browsers, and can be affected in various ways that may be non-obvious to > the page author, related to the layout and styling of the video and > other elements on the page. I don't think such a note wold really be of much help to authors, so I haven't included it. I agree with the rest of your comments. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
