The worst thing about `<dialog>` is that modal ones are placed in the CSS "top layer" which obstructs portalled content like tooltips and dropdowns.

  Once we can use popover and anchor positioning, tooltips and drop downs can also be in the top layer. I can’t wait

    This was never an issue for me in React. The top layer seems unnecessary. Just put your portal or fancy code such that it puts all those popovers at the end. If you order your DOM correctly, you almost never have to touch the z-index.

      The point is it will be possible without a framework

        `document.body.appendChild(newElement);` is pretty easy too.
