From what I can tell, Voiceover/Safari support for aria-modal=“true” is still lacking. And general screenreader support for aria-haspopup=“dialog” is still poor. Until this situation changes, I’d probably refrain from using either one of these. The aria practices examples are only to show you some patterns you can use that meet the ARIA specification. That’s an important distinction.

For what it's worth, Scott O’hara talks about both the points: aria-modal=”true” https://github.com/scottaohara/accessible_modal_window#lack-of-features-are-not-bugs role=”dialog” https://github.com/scottaohara/accessible_modal_window#modal-dialog-base-markup I do not feel qualified to firmly suggest his approach "better", and as he notes time is an issue (as it goes by, support improves), but from what I read it *seemed* that Scott O’hara's approach was also good.
