I think people are missing the point that Refresh is actually non-standard HTTP, not HTML. Of the browsers that accept Refresh, the ones I've tried will accept it as a real HTTP header, e.g., for amusement, I did a noddy intranet webcam once that generated image/jpeg, with a Refresh header, and it did refresh, when accessed as page in its own right; no HTML in sight. The quote that was given from the HTML spec didn't read to me as being normative; it was basically saying that META was open ended and providing informative information about how some browsers used it. As an non-standard HTTP header, it really ought to be X-Refresh.
