Hi,

http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/trackpoints?bbox=24.910183149172653,60.15440288678513,24.95553022602672,60.17696276708048&page=0

gives me GPX data for a given bounding box but does not seem to
include elevation data for any of the points. However, if I download
the original GPX tracks from e.g.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/trace/185458/data

I can see elevation data. Is there anything I could do to get such
elevation data for only specific bounding box? I am not sure how much
www.openstreetmap.org likes if I download all GPX files (44 gigabytes
if my extrapolation is correct) separately and then do bounding box
filtering locally.
