Whither progress?

Hello,

I was wondering what one does in HPSG with expressions such as

(1) Whither progress?

What would the constituent structure be here?

Would anyone consider these acceptable in English:

(2) Whither the cat?
(3) Whither the coffee?

and how would you capture their meaning? Do you think that (3) is
acceptable?

Thanks in advance,
