Back in January there was a discussion on this list about returning 
status information with scripts.

Basically the idea was that a script could keep returning extra headers
at various points and these would get displayed by the clients in the
status area. Example:

	some headers
	Status: Search starting
	Status: Search is 10% complete (then a little while later)
	...
	Status: Search complete
	rest of headers
	html document

Was a decision ever reached about how feasible this is?   Did anyone
attempt to add this?
