Yes, but---I checked for Firefox and Epiphany---this is because the browsers
don't have a "refresh tab/window" command line option. Emacs can't do anything
about it.

It would be nice to now if one can trick a browser to refresh a page; Adobe
Acrobat can be tricked to refresh a file, too. Anyone?

But maybe it should be a feature request.

ET IN ARCADIA EGO

"I HAVE been here before", I said; I had been there before;
first  with  Sebastian  more  than  twenty  years  ago on a
cloudless  day  in June, when  the ditches were creamy with
meadowsweet  and  the  air  heavy  with  all  the scents of
summer;  it  was a day of  peculiar splendour, and though I
had  been there so often, in so  many moods, it was to that
first visit that my heart returned on this, my latest.
