The W3C Web API Working Group has posted the second public working draft of Progress Events 1.0. This "defines events which can be used to monitor a process and provide feedback to a user, particularly for network-based events." Here's the IDL:

interface ProgressEvent : events::Event {
     readonly attribute boolean         lengthComputable;
     readonly attribute unsigned long   loaded;
     readonly attribute unsigned long   total;
     void               initProgressEvent(in DOMString typeArg,
                                          in boolean       canBubbleArg,
                                          in boolean       cancelableArg,
                                          in boolean       lengthComputableArg,
                                          in unsigned long loadedArg,
                                          in unsigned long totalArg,
     void               initProgressEventNS(in DOMString namespaceURI,
                                            in DOMString typeArg,
                                            in boolean       canBubbleArg,
                                            in boolean       cancelableArg,
                                            in boolean       lengthComputableArg,
                                            in unsigned long loadedArg,
                                            in unsigned long totalArg,
};
