smfr has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [dialog element] <dialog> positioning should be describable in CSS == HTML describes the ["centered alignment" of a dialog element](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/interactive-elements.html#centered-alignment) in somewhat opaque prose. Blink's implementation of this is a [hack in their rendering code](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/master:third_party/blink/renderer/core/layout/layout_block_flow.cc?q=ComputeAbsoluteDialogYPosition&ss=chromium&originalUrl=https:%2F%2Fcs.chromium.org%2F) This needs to be described in terms of CSS (ideally as some rules in the UA stylesheet). Apparently it's not implementable in CSS, which is a problem. First, UAs should not have to add custom layout code for the dialog element, and second authors should be able to achieve the same positioning behavior for their own elements.
