I think a fullscreen event is not necessary because it is not that much
different from a normal resize event. The question is: when is it usefull
to know whether or not the browser chrome is visible or not?
For presentations you can just press a button (if the browser supports
fullscreen mode) and a resize event will be fired. Properties and Events
regarding to fullscreen should not be in the specs. That should be up to
the vendor to implement.
I just had a little chat with Anne and he thinks a rendering change
event (ie: before printing, generate a table of contents) will be usefull. 
I think he is right.
