We should be able to handle modal aria dialogs. This means not navigating the content of the page behind it, but only the lements in the actual dialog.

Probably via xml-roles 'alertdialog'. Those are supposed to be modal. Of course that is not bomb-proof, so we need to look at how current screen readers do that.

A problem we need to solve, but it theoretically needs to be solved in a broader scope. Setting to a P3.

This should be resolved with a proper <dialog> element.
