I would agree it would be incorrect to report bad PVT.  However, I'm expecting gpsd to still report TPV JSON messages with mode == 1 (no fix) and blank fields for time, position, and velocity.

I'm getting hung up on the fact that gpsd reported TPV messages with a mode == 1 (no fix) on a cold boot but did not continue reporting those same messages on loss of fix.  This behavior seems inconsistent to me.

And gpsd ignores the PVT messsages when the GPS has lost fix.  Better
to do that than report bad PVT.
