As an Opera user I realise that this is already implemented and
deployed, but I do think that taking "projection" to mean "fullscreen"
is a bit of an abuse of that media type.
If I press F11 in my browser, my 17" monitor doesn't suddenly turn into
a projector.
When I think of "full screen" I generally mean "make the page take up
the whole screen -- hide the browser chrome", not "turn this web page
into a slide-show."
Not that Opera's feature isn't useful: I'd just prefer it were called
"Projection Mode" and not "Full Screen" to avoid this very confusion
that you've called out in your message. Too late now though, I guess!
