746437 - [meta] Update fullscreen API to match latest draft spec

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, task, P2)

Description

[Chris Pearce [:cpearce (Not reading bugmail)]]

The W3 fullscreen spec [1] has changed again. There's now the concept of a backdrop, and the CSS pseudoclass rules have changed, and there's a new stacking layer concept. We should decide whether we object, and then implement it or kick up a fuss.

I can't think of a good reason to not implement it as-is.

Hi all. I'm aiming to implement the latest Fullscreen spec in Blink, so I'm curious about whether Firefox folks feel positively about the spec:

I think not much has changed in the spec since the last comment (the version discussed seems to be https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/fullscreen/raw-file/e1223b9b491d/Overview.html), but it's been a while.

The Blink bug is:

Thanks for any information!

Thanks for checking in Matt! I did our initial fullscreen API implementation. I think we're all happy with the current spec, and would be happy for it to become the standard.

Current do not support the non-prefix fullscreen API.

Removing the webcompat-priority flag here. Having the priority on a metabug isn't too useful - we should track and triage individual issues instead if specific issues show up.
