Re: ISSUE-133 modal-attribute - Chairs Solicit Alternate Proposals or Counter-Proposals

Hi all,
I will happily withdraw my change proposal in favout of Ted's

a few questions Ted:

"By default, pressing the Escape key in a dialog fires its 'cancel' event.
This can be prevented from within a 'keyup' or 'keypressed' event handler."

why allow the dismissal of the dialog using the esc key to be prevented?

"In §3.2.7 WAI-ARIA<http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/content-models.html#wai-aria>,
the language feature <dialog modal> should be specified to have the strong
native semantics equivalent to role="dialog""

WAI-ARIA defines 'dialog' as

" dialog (role) A dialog is an application window that is designed to
interrupt the current processing of an application in order to prompt the
user to enter information or require a response. "

Do you think that this is appropriate for all the use cases?

On dialog close where does the focus move to by default?

Even when dialogs are NOT modal it is important that tabbing to through all
the controls in the dialog does not result in focus moving out of the
dialog.

Can you add some text to the CP to detail this?
