Comment 11 for bug 869365

To clarify my updated point of view: some people like to monitor progress without seeing the browser window. The dock enables that. Despite the relative ambiguity it does serve a purpose.

Sadly dock and indicators is a schizophrenic subject. The HIG frankly doesn't help at all because every other person understands it differently. At one time people are crazy about download status in the dock, the next day somebody explains why it's wrong, and next time around a subset of the feature is wrong.
