There's one application I know of (not browser based) which regularly
reports "Error 100 Continue ..." as a dialog.

As long as it's opt in per specific code, to avoid the disaster that
I've seen in existing apps which don't properly handle this, it should
be fine.
xhr.addEventListener("http100", function callback(status_number,
status_string, response_headers, response_body){})
Note that I'm not in favor of someone adding support for "http1xx", I
expect callbacks to be surprised when they get a specific number that
is not the one they were designed for (just as my app above wasn't
expecting 100).
