That was his point - despite the fact that it *can* be done in flash,
it isn't. Hence the argument in the spec is invalid.
I don't really see what's wrong with having an API for fullscreen. If
they want, user agents could have a preference to disable the
full-screen API if people ever start doing annoying things.
As for the security issue, the 'Press Escape to exit fullscreen mode'
banner works for flash.

The banner would be a good idea, but it would depend or not if Adobe had the copyright on that sort of thing. It sounds stupid, but I've seen a lot worse being copyrighted before.<BR>

I think fullscreen within a simple browser window would do the trick. It would behave in the same way that it does now if you point your browser at a media file directly rather than at a web page that contains the clip as a page element.<BR>
