In the "Can You Spot the Barriers?" section of the AU home page, the link that opens the Cheatsheet of Accessibility Issues opens the content in a modal window, which appears in the foreground while background content is masked behind a dark transparency. This is not truly modal, however. If a keyboard user presses the Tab key they may discover that their focus remains in the background, and they may find that it's very difficult to tab to the dialog so they can dismiss it. Also, screen reader users are not aware that a dialog has appeared. Instead, they're likely to be confused because they clicked on a link but nothing seemed to happen.
