You could just work in the explanation I sent in http://www.w3.org/mid/4FC64100.3060800@inkedblade.net e.g. | Each element in the top layer's stack has a ::backdrop pseudo-element, | which can be styled to create a backdrop that hides the underlying | document when the element is displayed fullscreen. I think that would address Daniel's comment. The CSSWG generally tries to explain the intention of a feature at a high level rather than simply giving the processing model and asking implementers to blindly implement it. This helps spec reviewers understand the goal of the feature and therefore comment intelligently on how it fulfills that goal, and it helps implementers and authors create a mental context for interpreting the rest of the spec text and applying it to real code. ~fantasai
