Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Modal window (#427)

@marcoscaceres By "fixing", do you mean Modal Window should be treated as a 3P context embedded from the opening page?

I don't think that makes sense because a key value of introducing something like Modal Window is to provide a 1P context that still looks somewhat in context with the original page. The challenge is to find the tricky balance between making it "in-context" enough to not incur the full user friction of a redirect or popup, but distinct from the original page enough that bad actors cannot use it to silently track users. I believe the user activation requirement and adding a URL bar (possibly read-only) to the modal window set a correct balance.

I believe Modal Window will not be very useful if it's made to behave like a 3P iframe. @asolove-stripe voiced a similar opinion in a different thread and can speak about the use cases from Stripe.
