Take it we know about this?

"I was watching a video by Tim Berners-Lee about open data yesterday,
and in it he was making use of an example that I find relevant to
this:

I did note that it claims it's £495bn spending, when it is actually
closer to £700bn, so I am not sure how useful it really is."

Could be kind of thing to put in FAQ/ask.wdmmg? E.g. what it
includes/doesn't include that might explain different figures...
