This sounds really bad to me. The user shouldn't have to be prompted. Just make sure that you only do it in response to user action (like with window.open()), and hitting most keys will leave fullscreen mode, and you display a message like "Fullscreen mode, hit ESC to exit" for a couple of seconds at the top. That's basically what Flash does, right? Does that cause problems? I'm pretty sure we all agree that prompting the user is horrible UI and should be avoided wherever possible.
