Hmm, you seem to be right. Sad. I've detected this issue on
sending LiveJournal comments - it redirects to the new
comment.

If anybody's interested:
http://zilla.livejournal.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2528

What do you think should be done here (in WWWOFFLE)? How
would you prefer it to react?

BTW, does wwwoffle follows the "meta-refresh" html link?
Does it consider (remove) the fragment there? Is there any
standard regarding this? "html4 specification"
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#edef-META)
seems to say nothing about it.
