[Mason Freed]

This is an implementation bug for the new light dismiss behaviors (including closedby attribute and dialog.requestclose()) proposed here:

Moved dialog.requestClose() to its own bug as I believe it can be implemented separate to the other changes (which rely on CloseWatcher being implemented in WebKit). https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285989

[Luke Warlow]

Assigning to myself, I have a prototype of the closedby="any" behaviour, am waiting on Close Watcher's to be merged and integrated with dialog so I can implement the closerequest and none values too.

Luke,

Since dialog.requestClose() has been merged, Would publishing the closedby="any" prototype be possible?

[Luke Warlow]

For the full closedby it needs wider close watcher support (I believe anyway, there may be a way to approximate it without that) but yes I think the best course of action is to get the prototype for closedby=any into a PR just have it behind a flag and then as more gets done we can finish it off.

https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11326 - for those tracking there was also some spec issues with the initial version of closedby which delayed things a bit while we resolved them. This is the final change neccessary before we have a solid base to work from.
