Re: Dialog semantics and aria?

With regards to accessible semantics and aria, would you consider a panel
that pops up and fills the entire screen, with say a form.. the same as a
modal overlay? Once the panel is closed, focus goes back to the trigger
page.

We do this quite a bit for mobile apps. I see them as the same, but would
like to hear other opinions.
