> Ideally we'd use the CSS from the spec in html.css. Do you know why it uses position:absolute instead of fixed?

Ian Hickson explains: "If it was fixed, and the dialog was taller than the window, there would be no way to view the whole dialog."

Implementation-wise, I guess it may still be possible to do option 2) but special case for dialogs taller than the window, and we'd have to handle size changing dynamically.
