*evilgrin* that's the problem with standard and browser-specific... if
netscape and IE think, they'll need a tag that is *not* standard, it's
their problem, if the tag (or whatever) will be defined different in the
standard.

I think the w3-proposal is better, because something like:
<meta http_equiv="REFRESH" content="3; URL=bla"> is not logic.

why not	<meta http_equiv="REFRESH" URL="bla" content="3">

and: if we have URL - what else could we get? (in final state something
like:

<meta http_equiv="REFRESH" URL="url" content="3" title="text"
popup-text="We are changing location" text="color" blink>

did I miss a possibility?)

In this way: content="number,URL" is clear and simple.

I hope Netscape and IE will see this too and change it in the next
browser-versions.
