Underwhelmed - a places search for Cleveland UK persists in returning Cleveland, Ohio

http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/places.q(Cleveland,UK)?appid=[apikey]

http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/places.q(Cleveland,23424975)?appid=[apikey]

Even returning all records for Cleveland - 45 of them - fails to return anything from the UK (also, the focus filter appears to be ignored). Oh, and there's no equivalent of GeoName's totalResultsCount element so you have to count the returned records yourself
