It may be too late but it would make it easier on authors if they did not
have to capture all the events to make a dialog behave like a dialog.

I think it would be better if a modal feature was included as part of
HTML5, as it would mean that event handling is looked after by the browser,
so authors/AT don't have to deal with it.

I think you mean "aria-modal=true/false" for dialog with a
default=false.
