Description

Per discussion with @domenic this seems in scope for HTML, but we'll need implementation interest beyond Mozilla.

See whatwg/fetch#19 for background. https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/issues/19#issuecomment-70495146 by @gaearon still seems like a reasonable API.

Research direction

Start by reading whatwg/fetch#19 and the linked @gaearon comment, then review the HTML Standard area covering progress indicators. The issue provides no file, test, or entry point; done would require an agreed API scope and implementation direction for exposing the indicator through HTML.
