Can you quit an application or close windows in it when a regular ie
detached modal dialog is up? Remember, Sheets are just modal dialogs
attached to a specific window and affecting behavior in that window
only. A user has to deal with a modal dialog before they can quit an app
or close a window, implementing the above strategy would be a violation
of UI consistency. Don't pollute the metaphor.
