Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Modal window (#427)

@hober and I discussed this. My thoughts:

- The explainer is pretty vague on use cases: "could be useful for other use cases (e.g. authentication, sharing, access to third-party services)". 
   - Authentication seems like an important use case, but "access to third-party services" seems too general to be meaningful, and we weren't sure how the sharing use case would intersect with the Web Share API.
- Given the lack of a clearly defined context for this API to be used, unlike the payment request scenario, it seems like it would be difficult to define a clear user gesture which should trigger the modal window to show. How would we avoid a scenario where users are being disrupted by modal windows showing the moment they interact with the page in any meaningful way?
