Not to beat a dead horse... but I was surprised this is a non-standard
header so for anyone interested here are my "of interest" links. As Odi
mentions Netscape introduced the header (the meta tag is the html equivalent
to the (non-standard) http header.)

Early draft refers to the Refresh header but marks it "TBS"
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.1/spec.html#Refresh
Later an issue from the working group says the follow: was not in the 1.1
spec, "due to unexplored security implications"

Post from a 2000 w3c list. Good information for anyone implementing the
behavior expected and wanting to know why 3xx doesn't cover what's done in
the Refresh:

mentions non-standard header, but that NS and IE support it.
