It's important to realize that Flash fullscreen is about a lot more than just having the video play. For many sites (such as us at YouTube), the controls/UI are part of the fullscreen experience. Unless you can fullscreen a canvas or somehow allow controls and other elements (subtitles, annotations, etc) it's simply not competitive with Flash. Right now there is no way to implement the YouTube player and features in HTML5 in fullscreen.<br>

<br>Rob<br>-- <br>"He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah 53:5-6]<br>
