Re: WCAG Violation for use of tabindex=0 on staticelements.

In this case though, the developer should probably use tabindex="-1" which restricts the focus to only being placed onto an element programmatically, rather than the element appearing in the focus order with tabindex="0".

As an aside, I would probably place the focus onto the actual dialog container itself (with role=dialog), rather than the heading, with the title of this container picked up from the dialog heading via aria-describedby or similar.
