Comment (by markjaquith):

 Westi, you're confusing two different things.  This ticket is talking
 about modal JS "OK/Cancel" dialogs, not the "Yes/No" HTML dialog you get
 when you omit a nonce where one is required.

 JS AYS is '''not''' a security measure.  Nonces are the security measure,
 and those remain regardless of JS AYS.  JS AYS only serves as an errant
 click prevention device.  "Undo" functionality can completely replace JS
 AYS dialogs.
