Research direction

Start with section 11.8.5, step 5, and compare its wording with the linked Fullscreen specification's “fullscreen an element” steps. Determine whether the intended operation is the quoted algorithm or requestFullscreen(), then document the precise wording needed to resolve the window-resizing ambiguity.

Description

Fullscreen Window needs-discussion

11.8.5 Fullscreen Window

  1. Call fullscreen an element with session's current top-level browsing context's active document's document element.

Step 5 mentions calling the fullscreen an element steps. Is this really what the specification means? Because just fullscreen an element doesn't resize any windows, it only sets the element's fullscreen flag and adds it to the top layer. Is the specification meaning to say the following?

5. requestFullscreen() with session's current top-level browsing context's active document's document element. ?
