This is definitely a good question, one that I'd like to see addressed too.

I think that if the spec remains as is Firefox would likely fire events 
that implements both the ProgressEvent interface and the LSProgressEvent 
interface, but encourage people to use the ProgressEvent interface. 
Possibly even by putting a message in the error console when the old 
interface properties are accessed.
