Clarity: “alertdialog and dialog” not “alert and dialog” role. This isn’t for the transient non-dialog “alert” role.

Role desc of “alert” (e.g. not the more verbose “alert dialog”) seems okay for alert dialogs though, so I think the diff itself is good to go.

Would be good to include a layout test of <div role=dialog> and <dialog open>

In further investigation turns out that the behavior is already correct for elements with role="dialog". Thus this patch implements the same behavior for <dialog> elements.

Added a new layout test for <dialog>. role="dialog" is already implemented and covered in tests. Thanks.

INclude -> Include

> +    if (roleValue() == AccessibilityRole::ApplicationDialog)

is this Mac only? seems like it might be good for this to be accessibilityIsIgnored()==true in the base class

Fixed typo and moved it to the platform-independent code.

Need to update the GTK results I think for this test too
