What kind of digesting and analyzing do you think is required? An UA is<br>
free to implement support for this API in a way that will ever accept<br>
the request only if the requested element is the video element. In that<br>
case, the API is a specialized video fullscreen API only.<br></blockquote><div> </div></div></div>In fact, there has been a lot of clear feedback that an API that only works on video elements is unlikely to get much use, since major video sites very strongly prefer to use their own player UI in fullscreen mode. And of course their own player UI consists of non-video elements...<br>
