The document published defines events which can be used to monitor a process and provide feedback to a user, particularly for network-based events. A Focus on the five events (loadstart, progress, error, abort and load) and their interfaces for use with XMLHttpRequest and AJAX applications mainly, but should be usable in other relevant contexts.
