F41 discusses the reloading the page and F40 discusses the redirecting the page. Currently, however , the difference between the two common failures are not clear. We should clarify the difference.

F40: Failure of Success Criterion 2.2.1 and 2.2.4 due to using meta redirect with a time limit

F41: Failure of Success Criterion 2.2.1, 2.2.4, and 3.2.5 due to using meta refresh with a time-out

In this pull request,

Changed summary of F41 to make its objective clear
Reloading without user permissions is an issue regardless of refresh interval
Removed Example 2 of F41 because it's an example of F40
Removed SVR1 from related techniques of F41 because SVR1 discusses redirecting not reloading
Added SVR1 and H76 to F40 as related techniques (now authors can fix their issues)
Changed tests in F40
Make the test fails in case content="0"
Reloading without user permissions is an issue regardless of refresh interval
Make the test not fail in case content attribute contains "; url="
It's a failure of F40
(bonus) Added lang attribute to html element
H76: Using meta refresh to create an instant client-side redirect
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2014/WD-WCAG20-TECHS-20140724/H76.html

SVR1: Implementing automatic redirects on the server side instead of on the client side
