Regarding mappings:
ATK/AT-SPI and IA2 provide a STATE_MODAL. STATE_MODAL is documented as
a property of an object; that is, the modal state is not confined to the
dialog role. That's something to keep in mind if we decide that
@aria-modal applies to roles other than dialog.
Regarding UIA, there is a IsModal property for the Window control
pattern. Likewise, AX has a ModalAttribute for window objects. It
appears modal-ness is confined to the window role and its sub-roles for
these platforms. Cynthia and James, can you comment?
Hope that's useful.
