Re: Is there an html or WCAG definition of "modality" as it relates to keyboard behavior in a modeal dialog?

I think it is just about whether there should be normative language in any 
spec related to this.
If there was normative language in ARIA spec, then that could be the basis 
for WCAG techniques.

I strongly support the idea of an "author SHOULD" or even an "author MUST"

I thought the discussion was around whether the behaviour is a WCAG 
violation?
