Could browsers handle confirm() and friends in such a way that they only

It'd have to block any page in the same unit of related browsing
contexts,
but otherwise yes. Chrome does this, mostly. IE8 probably too.
That is a browser issue. Chrome and IE8 don't have it because they are
multi-process. Opera never had the issue because processing is always
divided between the UI and webpages.
No spec should go into great lengths specifying how UI should behave and
look, although it can make recommendations.
