Yes, this would fit the paradigm of a standard platform dialog, which is what the role is meant to represent.

So the role of 'dialog' sets the API mapping, aria-label or aria-labelledby sets the associated dialog title, and aria-describedby sets the dialog static text, so when focus is set to the Close button, all of this information should be announced.

If the attributes are set correctly and this information is not announced, then it's worth reporting this as a bug to the AT vender though.

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] Time-out modal with alertdialog

Bryan, a (general, not specific to Sean's) question:
if I have a "popup" (client request) which contains almost exlusively text (help text), with no OK button but we do add a "close" button, is this the best thing to set focus to, or should in this case the dialog itself be focussed on? All the other usual attributes etc are set.

Sometimes based on language/country combinations there is a focusable email link, but this is not reliably there for all users.
