Actually that's not correct. lynx for one will show the page as
"REFRESH(0 sec): http://www.xxx.org/xxx.html"
I know some other browsers will in fact quickly do the redirect,
but will retain the original url in the "back" list, so when you
hit the "back" button, you will again get redirected foward to
the page again. Then you have to either select the "back list",
and skip the original url, or enter another url by hand. With a
refresh of zero, it's not generally not possible to press the
"back" button fast enough to go back through the original page.
Netscape 4.7x exhibits this behavior
