I think you mean the sentence "Overrides any timeout to keep the feed alive 
indefinitely.”? This still seems confusing, as both heartbeat and timeout are 
specified as having default values. So if not given, a heartbeat of 60sec is 
assumed; which would mean that the feed would be kept alive. It sounds like the 
truth is that there isn’t any default value for heartbeat.

The statement about the continuous feed still seems wrong: "A continuous feed 
stays open and connected to the database until explicitly closed”. This is only 
true if a heartbeat is specified in the URL; otherwise it only stays open 60 
seconds.
