As the OP said, it isn't implemented as fullscreen on win32.

I didn't find a list of what frame-parameters are recognized, and which
values, but fullboth indicates to me that we're actually talking about
maximize, and the options are horizontal, vertical, both, in classic X11 VM
style.  This is AFAICT the ambiguity the OP was wanted to address.

How would you request maximize if fullboth is fullscreen?  A maximize frame
parameter?
