I would assume a datestamp, to the 100th of a second precision. Google?

Google couldn't find anything within the five-minute cutoff (of my
patience). If you have time, feel free to hunt further.

Otherwise, it is probably safe to assume that if you change a page
more than once a day, simply incrementing the second number will
accomplish what you want, namely getting the browser to notice that a
change has occured.

I guess that this is a non-standard META tag, as I don't see it in the
normal list of HTTP-EQUIV tags:
