Is HTML/CSS a streaming format?  :-)

There are JavaScripts that show the progress of the images loaded in
the page, and I suppose with some frame trickery you could do a "page
loading" bar, but in most cases it will be a rather pointless
overhead. If pages or CSS documents are too big the best course is to
streamline them, not to show the user that they are big.
