           Summary: [BlackBerry] Automatically go fullscreen on video play
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit BlackBerry
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mfeil at rim.com


There is a requirement to have HTML5 video automatically enter fullscreen when the video starts playing. This patch implements this feature, with restrictions. The main restriction is adherence to WebKit's philosophy of only entering fullscreen due to a user gesture. This is important in order to avoid pop-up advertisements and other unwanted fullscreen content. One consequence of this is that video elements with the autoplay attribute will not automatically enter fullscreen.

Other caveats:
- This feature applies only to "small screen" devices where automatically going fullscreen makes more sense.
- Fullscreen will only be entered automatically when the video is played from the beginning (current time is zero). It is assumed that if the user is resuming play from a paused state and is not in fullscreen mode, then they exited fullscreen mode intentionally.
