[Talk-GB] access:psv

[Dave F]

Stuart
I'm only returning 127 (Worldwide) & 29 (UK, 24 Nottingham)
Compared with 77857 for psv=*

Chris
If they're to signify different entries, what are those differences.
If they're for the same entity what is the advantage of access:psv. If 
there is none, they should be change as clearly more users are expecting 
psv=*

If the changes are to a more popular or useful tag, then there's no 
harm. With fewer tags, it makes it easier for a consumer to validate the 
data.
