+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #23298 +++

The suggested UA style sheet[1] has:
  dialog::backdrop { background: rgba(0,0,0,0.1); }

So by default, the backdrop has height and width 0. I suspect most use cases of
a modal dialog want a visible backdrop. Those authors will have to add
something like:
  dialog::backdrop { position: fixed; top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; }
which is a bit cumbersome.

How about adding such style to the suggested style sheet?
