haven't tested it yet but code looks good, I'm +1 on using floating ui for that

Cool. Gonna continue then.

I think this is a good idea, and I think it's fine if core uses internal libraries more than once.

Should we also consider anchor position with a polyfill now it's in chrome and Firefox has also signalled intent to ship? There's a polyfill from oddbird

Since we use jQuery UI we have to use some js for positioning. If we had native dialogs it would be easier to go with css-onlu for positioning.

I like CSS-only positioning. But what about

1. my/at/flip in https://api.jqueryui.com/position/ ?
2. also not clean how to set maxWidth etc.

Floating UI seems allows to keep all previous features.

MR appears to have some failures

Removing the beta targets since we missed that boat.
