Is there a reason the Fullscreen specification doesn't dispatch events
to the most relevant element?
Because we exit fullscreen when the fullscreen element is removed from
the document, so if you dispatch events to the context element, the
"fullscreenchange" event never bubbles up to the containing document in
the exit-on-remove case.
Because of this, the spec was then changed to dispatch fullscreenchange
to the context element on entering fullscreen, and to the document on
exit, but we found this inconsistent, since a listener has to listen to
multiple nodes to receive both exit and enter events, so the spec was
changed again to always dispatch "fullscreenchange" to the document.
