You could use <dialogue> instead of <dialog>. "Dialog" is an alternate
spelling
of "dialogue" in common English, but IIRC "dialogue" is never used for
dialog
boxes. I'm sure mpt can correct me if I'm wrong...
Also see http://forums.whatwg.org/viewtopic.php?t=24 for discussion about
<dialog> vs <dialogue>.
