refresh

 


Avoid using <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh"> to automatically redirect users.

I think Michel needs to raise an alert at grope coordination that we
need to see if we can solve this issue from a different angle
 
not having refresh effectively bans some applications form accessibility
(like stock ticker)
1, this can be solved as a remove item for assistive tech
 
it can be solves though a simple proxy (I can volunteer to put up an
open free one, if it helps)
and it can be integrated at a protocol level such as defining a scope of
a refresh (e.g. just to the latest up date section of a page) or have a
"non refresh" equivalent
 
banning refresh from the author is a bit unimaginative.   

All the best
