Re: [whatwg] Fullscreen API and out-of-process <iframe>

Caveat: I'm not really familiar with the fullscreen API implementation in
Chrome.

I imagine the synchronous checks would be implemented with a sync IPC from
the requesting renderer to the browser (which implies the browser process
must keep track of the fullscreen enabled flag and whether or not the
fullscreen element stack is empty on a per-frame basis). I'm not sure what
the best approach is to implement step 5 of the requestFullscreen API (
http://fullscreen.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-element-requestfullscreen), but it
seems like we could use the browser process to coordinate the work across
different renderers (where we walk through the documents list). Any
subsequent tasks that need to run in different renderers can probably just
all be posted at the same time.

As for the racing issues... they don't seem out-of-process iframe specific
to me? Perhaps I'm missing something here.
