No, that's missing the point.  These obscure corner cases should be
minimized (in any API, and especially web APIs).  People won't know to test
them, and everyone's browsing experience will be buggier when in
F11-fullscreen.

Can anyone suggest a use case for having fullscreen be true when in browser
(F11) fullscreen?  I can't think of any.

It wouldn't work at all.  The exitFullscreen call would fail or no-op (you
can't exit F11 fullscreen with this API, of course; it's not yours to exit),
so the next click would just call exitFullscreen again.
