User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040808 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040808 Firefox/0.9.3
Website includes <meta http-eqiv="refresh" ...> in the <body> of the document
(not the <head>) and firefox honors this. HTML spec says meta tags are only in
the head of the document. This is obviously bad html but should any browser
honor meta tags in the <body>?
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.tokyotosho.com
2. Let page load.
Actual Results:
Firefox honors the meta-refresh and goes offsite.
Expected Results:
Ignore meta tag and continue parsing page.
Also tested this with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WIndows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3)
Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.10.1 and it honors the meta refresh too. Check the
testcase for a one-liner.

We accept it because it would break too many sites to be strict and refuse it.
