There is an error in the documentation for the meta tag at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/global.html#edef-META . You provide an incorrect example of using the http-equiv=redirect attribute to redirect to a new url. The example, <META http-equiv="refresh" content="3,http://www.acme.com/intro.html"> , will not redirect, but simply refreshes the same Location every 3 seconds. The correct syntax for redirection is: <META http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=http://www.acme.com/intro.html"> The separator is not a comma, but a semicolon. Furthermore, one must specify url= if the user agent is to load a new url. Please document this behavior as part of the specification.
