Document: WAI-ARIA 1.0 Authoring Practices Working Draft 7 March 2013
Part: 3.3. Making a Dialog Modal (modal_dialog)

End of first paragraph: "All WAI-ARIA enabled dialog boxes should be modal."

But there is also a (useful) Design Pattern for non-modal dialogs http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-wai-aria-practices-20130307/#dialog_nonmodal

Proposal:

All WAI-ARIA enabled dialog boxes should trap the focus for keyboard navigation.
