Both of your examples would be done by using elements that are

That doesn't sound like a good solution, but maybe I'm misunderstanding.
Look at my blog:

At the bottom is a simple site menu. If you click on the "contact" link it
pops up a dialog with a backdrop that covers the whole page... except for
the site menu. The dialog can be hidden by a "close" link in the dialog, OR
by clicking the "contact" link again.
I'm not 100% certain, but I suspect this isn't doable with<dialog
modal>, because that's not a modal dialog. It's a normal dialog; you
just happen to be using a similar visual effect (darkening the rest of
the page) as what modal dialogs typically do, presumably so as to
focus attention on the dialog.
No, it uses a backdrop to cover the content of the page so that it
becomes non-interactive.
It's just the bottom menu that doesn't lose interactivity, because it
has a higher z-index.
Will non-modal `<dialog>` have a backdrop?
