Actually, it should either be

  <expires HTTP-EQUIV="Expires">Tue, 04 Dec 1993 21:29:02 GMT</expires>

or

  <META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Tue, 04 Dec 1993 21:29:02 GMT">

The former example was intended to demonstrate how an extended element
like EXPIRES (I think it was one of the Proposed at one time) could also
have an HTTP-EQUIV attribute.  However, I think that is now passe' and
the latter example should be used for the spec (i.e. delete the EXPIRES word).
