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...
