believe, i think the reason for ppl's problem with fullscreen is a control issue. The web is not tv or an art gallery, people use the web for far more reasons than just looking at it or appreciating it, and a person's browser is not necessarily just for surfing. Try looking it not so much as a browser being a frame for a picture, as being the eyes you use to see that picture. Surely a designer has no right to remove your skull in order to ensure that it doesn;t interfer with your peripheral vision. I know that sounds stupid, but i guess my point is that although it may not be relevant for other objects to surround a particular work, those objects may well be relevant to the other 10 things that a person is doing on the web at the same time, so giving people a choice is more considerate. That said, i've been thinking about putting heaps of fullscreen stuff on my site in an attempt to be inconsiderate to users, so in the end it does depend on the context.
