We definitely want this for full-screen videos (bug 517870). But I'm not sure we want it for other videos, since those are as likely to be advertisements as main content.

Screen savers themselves might be pointless nowadays, but our decision also affects security (auto-locking is often tied to screensavers) and power consumption (since we'd disable display sleep and computer sleep too).
