        The last time I looked, no HTTP or HTML standard supported
        Refresh, and its use in this context is as a poor man's
        HTTP redirect.

        It basically gets used as a redirect by people who aren't
        permitted to maintain the meta data for their pages, or
        didn't even realise that most web servers have meta data.

        Please don't legitimise this mis-use of a non-standardised
        feature, which was intended for doing slide shows, not
        redirects.
