Yes I know this, as my original post mentioned. But I think it's still a worthwhile feature to have from the server end in case the browser doesn't support auto-refreshes. Eg. some sites I work at they lockdown citrix environments so much so that they force you to use Internet Exploder with no option to "install" firefox or opera for their refresh page features. So basically, there's little choice but to use a crappy browser on a sluggish citrix environment. Support from the server end is still worthwhile in my opinion.
