What specific section or headline is this issue about?

autofocus is not discussed

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The autofocus attribute behaves differently on dialog, and this behavior will soon change.

What did you expect to see?

a section explaining how the first element with autofocus within a dialog receives focus when the dialog is opened (rather than when the page loads).

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

whatwg/html@a9f103c

Do you have anything more you want to share?

mostly creating this issue so that when whatwg/html@a9f103c is implemented in browsers, we remember to update the dialog and autofocus pages
