To clarify, I don't see sizing popups to fill half your screen, or
something like that, as being legitimately useful. (If you want to fill the
screen, we have the fullscreen API for that.) Popup windows are mostly
blocked and when they are used they should be sizing based on their
content. In most cases they should probably inherit the parent window's
zoom as well.
