Well it's just an example, but you could use multiple methods of 
refreshing the page to try and catch more browsers, eg. the Refresh: 
header, Javascript etc. It uses an IFRAME so that when the page is 
refreshed it doesn't lose whatever the user may have typed into the 
form. Plus the progress bar "flashing" is irritating, though I believe 
that could be removed by using AJAX to drag down the latest page instead 
of refreshing the whole page.
