Even though you've introduced a new stacking context rule that requires
layout engine changes, it still probably doesn't do everything you want.
For example if the <dialog> element is contained in a container with CSS
'opacity', 'filter', 'transform', 'clip-path' or 'mask' then your dialog
element won't appear the way you want it to.

We probably should align this with the fullscreen API to ensure they use
the same mechanism for placing stuff "on top of the page". There's a
discussion about this going on in the WHATWG list.
