As you noted, the difference is that this technique is commonly used for
non-modal content. The advertiser *wants* the viewer's attention, but it isn't
required.

This is a valid point. Sheets do have characteristics in combination with
notifications.
I was going to say that sheets should always be modal or we'll muddy the
definition of their purpose, but that's probably not correct - Dialogs have a
modal flag, and sheets could as well. A non-modal sheet could automatically
close when the user clicked outside of its bounds (but still over the owner's
client area). Also, as you suggested, it could also be configured to close
automatically after some time period.
So while I still question some of the UE principles behind the design, I am OK
with adding support for configurable slide directions. :-)

> Dear All,
