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. —Jens
