I don't think 'unsuspend' is that useful given that you can just detect 
'progress'. I do think that including all the events specs invent that use 
ProgressEvents into the progress spec makes sense, since that way other 
specs will reuse them. I still don't think ProgressEvents should really 
have (nor really can have) much in the way of normative text, so I don't 
think that it's really complicated to add events.
