Hi George,

ProgressiveDisplay's initial block may be used to display a "loading" message / 
spinning icon.
But I wouldn't recommend this component to be used just as a feedback 
mechanism. Build your own component that may listen to certain events and 
show/hide itself as needed.

ProgressiveDisplay is rather useful if you have expensive server-side stuff 
going on but don't want the user to wait 10 seconds until the page can be 
loaded. The component will first show a placeholder and immediately send a 
separate request using XHR to the server to get the expensive stuff.

Best
Christian
