Comment:
We should make <dialog>.show() focus the dialog the same as showModalDialog(),
and should probably add a showWithoutFocus() method to <dialog> for cases
where you don't want it focused

Checked in as WHATWG revision r8487.
Check-in comment: Focus the dialog for dialog.show() as well.

Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-09-29 20:06:22 UTC 
Definitely not adding this until <dialog> and the new focus mechanism are widely implemented, if ever.

Now being discussed after much talk in https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/1929
