the problem i try to solve is spam pop ups and aggressive spam page authoring
(which ban you from going backward and is obviously made up for banks and
exploited by spammers).
my idea is to depreciate (not allow) pop ups and also the annoying backward
browsing lock (we had more of those in the past) in any regular http and allow
it only on https. I thought a lot before posting it here. i think it can work
although I am really not sure if it is technically possible to separate code
of https and http but maybe it is and maybe it can make the web act better.  
as for video I am trying to develop a content that it might be need video full
screen. it'd suppose to be GOOD and Valuable content so i think it's a pity to
throw it to garbage. the visual is also very important side of the browsing
experience. So there is a new  idea i have which is to make httpv for video or
m - media streaming which will make video streaming online and prevent
spamming. maybe a library of approved sites  can work but it's too
monarchistic and against the web open spirit so  it is probably not such a
good idea. 

If you think these ideas are good or crappy. i like to know. Sorry if i am
confusing and got you confused too. it's a pretty vogue view from here.

EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so.

Status: Partially Accepted
Change Description: none
Rationale: 

For popup blocking: agreed. I'm not sure we can do any more than we already have, though. The spec doesn't actually require browsers to support popups at all.

For back-button lock: not sure what this is referring to.

For video: agreed on the full-screen thing; this will likely be handled in the CSSOM spec.
