"show()" and "close()" don't make a very obvious pair in terms of method names.
This is pretty bad from a semantics point of view.

How about show(), showModal() and hide() ? Or open(), openModal() and close() ?

I'm also not convinced of the value of show() on its own. What is there here
that can't be done better and more clearly with one line of jQuery, in terms of
form elements in the DOM

 The really useful part of this spec is the pending dialog stack. I think
"show()" should be axed, and "showModal()" should be renamed "open()".
