Why is this on the front page? It is nothing special

It doesn’t have to be brand new to be on the front page. Good ol’ or reference content is suitable too.

For instance, see this recent thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41967897 about the “418 I’m a teapot” HTTP status code, also linking to MDN. It was nothing new neither.

No idea. If it was the new `popover` attribute, I'd understand.

I guess because the complete standardization is new. The page says:

Which seems to simply add <dialog> to the docs for the `cancel` event

(<dialog> has been around for a decade)

And yet it's getting plenty of discussion. I like items like that.
