This is only my opinion, which may be wrong (I am only contributed few patches to Dillo), but I think the reason for no answer is that strict standards compliance is one of the goals of the Dillo project and the w3c html standard discourages the usage of meta tag for refresh.

Actually, that document only discourages using meta refresh for *forwarding*, as there are better, more accessible ways to do it (i.e. 302 Moved and similar responses). It says nothing negative about using a meta http-equiv tag to *refresh* the page. "Note. Some user agents support the use of META to refresh the current page after a specified number of seconds, with the option of replacing it by a different URI. Authors should not use this technique to forward users to different pages, as this makes the page inaccessible to some users. Instead, automatic page forwarding should be done using server-side redirects." -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org
