That's not 64-bit clean. In WebKit at least our network library can

probably argues against using LSProgressEvent as-is. It's too bad
they used "unsigned long" (which is a 32-bit integer type in OMG
IDL).
It rather seems like a bad idea to report progress of multi-gigabyte
downloads with byte-precision. DOM Level 3 Load and Save does not de-
fine that the attributes represent a number of octets.
What precision would you propose? It has to be defined to be able to
give a size to the user.
