The sentence "This flag also prevents content from creating new auxiliary
browsing contexts, e.g. using the target attribute or the window.open()
method." is non-normative, and is a rather vague description of reality (which
is that it's largely up to the UA what happens). Since you're an implementor,
please ignore the non-normative text. :-)

Blocking showModelDialog() seems reasonable. Should it be always blocked, or
should the UA have the option of allowing it anyway, as with window.open()? I'm
guessing it should just always block, since it's more synchronous.
