Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] A toast UI element (#385)

Ok I think I've totally misunderstood the point of this new toast proposal. The name is very confusing. I was thinking it was to do with adding tooltip positioning-like functionality in the browsers, like [Popper](https://popper.js.org/) but it looks like this is more to do with dialogs e.g. [Sweet Alert](https://sweetalert2.github.io/) ?

I was hoping for some kind of positoning engine native to browers so you can position things like the way it's described in the proposal:

Meh. This whole thing doesn't seem that useful to me now and functionality does overlap with `<dialog>`.
