Description

This is a request for a WebKit standards position on the idea of adding (optional) light dismiss functionality to Dialogs.
See whatwg/html#9373 for the discussion. The current proposal is a new attribute closedby (naming TBD) with three values allowing no close bahaviour, close watcher behaviour, or close watcher and light dismiss behaviour.
