I understand - It just does not seem practical for refreshing a table in 10 ms intervals.

table:refresh-delay is typed xsd:duration, which uses ISO 8601 format time durations.  So the units will be specified in the attribute value.

For example "PT10S" would be 10 seconds.  "PT0.5S" would be 1/2 second.  "PT1H30M" would be 1 hour 30 minutes.

The resolution required by XML Schema Datatypes for a "minimally conforming processor" is millisecond resolution.

So the notation certainly allows specification of sub-second updates.
