FWIW i'm fine with keeping things the way they are. Though there is
definitely a risk that other vendors will "have to" implement the
LSProgressEvent interface as well in order to support content out there
that is written for firefox. But we're talking about two extra
properties whose implementation will basically just be to forward to
another property so I doubt that it's a big burden.
