Silverlight 2.0 Initialisation Improvement

Silverlight browser integration and browser hosting always surprised me, when I first started with Silverlight I had troubles making my canvas bigger than 640x480 and its only later on I found that its not as easy as it looks and that I have to set Silverlight application size more than once. (xaml, js, html), after few updates on Silverlight templates its possible to do it in just xaml and html, and the reason is that Silverlight 1.1 relying on DOM to host Silverlight applications.

I can understand with not providing controls for Keyboard entry,...
