Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2013-12-05 11:37:45 EST 
The common modal dialog used in Orion (eg. Ctrl+Shift+F) is just a plain DIV with no ARIA role.

It should be improved by either:
 -Using HTML5 <dialog>
 -Adding ARIA role="dialog" [1]

Chrome betas support <dialog>. Firefox does not [2] but there is a polyfill [3].
