This was previously mentioned by "E. Stephen Mack" <estephen@emf.net> on
Tue, 15 Jul 1997, but I didn't see a reply, either.

Netscape's original words are at
  http://home.netscape.com/assist/net_sites/pushpull.html
which I refer to in my Metadata dictionary at
 http://vancouver-webpages.com/META/

I tend to think that the HTML 4 draft is in error. It's given as an
example, rather than a definition:

"Some user agents support the use of META to refresh ..."

Perhaps it should be fixed...
