Re: [csswg-drafts] [dialog element] <dialog> positioning should be describable in CSS (#4645)

> My preferred approach would be to always host the dialog inside a position:fixed container and describe something that makes the dialog scrollable if taller than the screen.

I agree actually! So maybe the dialogs should just be `max-height: 100vh; overflow: auto;` or something of that sort. Was that something like what you had in mind? Or some other kind of magic?

I think right now it depends, if it's fixedpos it'd be the viewport, if it's abspos it'd be the ICB.
