Since this control has only two possible values, that would mean that, if this control
is present, then REFRESH_MB is always ignored.
It seems to me that you need a third option here that specifically selects the REFRESH_MB
method.
Also, this needs to be documented as well in REFRESH_MB (i.e. it is ignored if this TYPE
control is present and is set to something other than REFRESH_MB).

I think you should add _TYPE after REFRESH in these names to clearly specify
that this is setting the refresh *type*.
