Mozilla has similar plans. Mostly for an <input type=file>-based
directory picker:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-whatwg-archive/2013Aug/0019.html
I'm planning on drafting something in http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/
based on https://github.com/slightlyoff/Promises/blob/master/ProgressFuture.idl
interface ProgressPromiseResolver : PromiseResolver {
  void progress(optional any progressValue);
};
callback ProgressPromiseInit = void (ProgressPromiseResolver
resolver); // maybe reuse PromiseInit
[Constructor(ProgressPromiseInit init)]
interface ProgressPromise : Promise {
  // Returns the context object
  ProgressPromise progress(optional AnyCallback progressHandler);
};
The then()/catch() methods on all Promise objects would still return
an instance of Promise (not any subclass). Progress values would not
forward.
Does that match what you have in mind?
