Isn't nsIWebProgressListener.STATE_IS_DOCUMENT the one you are looking for?

p.s. page load times are inaccurate and that is why is was removed from 
the statusbar (see history of nsBrowserStatushandler.js).

I would extend onStateChange in tabbrowser.xml for this and use 
"this.mTab.myProperty = value;" over "this.mTab.setAttribute = value;"
because setting attributes in XBL is slower (see Hyatt's comment in 
nsBrowserStatushandler.js) and save the data as RDF in a new method or 
some JS function.
