This probably falls under the current
"7.4 Until user agents provide the ability to stop the refresh, do not
create periodically auto-refreshing pages. "
But perhaps should be covered more specifically somewhere -
I recently encountered a web page that uses JavaScript to display a clock
that updates continuously. For slightly older screen readers this draws the
attention of the screen reader making it immpossible to get to the page
content.
