Re: [fetch] XHR option to trigger busy indicators (#19)

You're outlining a specific case where this would be okay; in general XHR is used for all sorts of things (eg displaying some new content on a click or mouseover), and in those cases the app would appear to not work anyway.


Also, note that webapps already implement their own progress indicators, and if XHR isn't handled properly, those can spin indefinitely too. I don't see a change in the status quo brought by access to the tab progress indicator wrt this problem.
