I suppose not.

It's really awful for embedding.  An important notification is just
missing!

Yes.  In fact the use of pop-up error messages and prompts is sub-

browser where the error may be related to a tab other than the
currently selected one.

I suppose I'll have to fudge things in my prompt service.
