Description alexander surkov 2013-09-27 14:46:03 UTC 
the spec says:

"An entire Document can be marked as blocked by a modal dialog subject. While a Document is so marked, every node that is in the Document, with the exception of the subject element, its ancestors, and its descendants, must be marked inert." 

http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/editing.html#inert-subtrees

what should mean that everything but dialog, its ancestors and descendants must be inert. However if the dialog is part of the document then that everything includes no element.

Is "its ancestors" specified by mistake?
