[josm-dev] GPX format

[Rick Collins]

I was looking at the format of the GPX files that JOSM outputs and I 
don't quite understand one aspect.  The TRKPT elements end with /> 
rather than using > and </trkpt>

I have not found a good description of the GPX format, but I have not 
found any document that specifically allows terminating an element 
with />.  Is this a standard part of XML and GPX?  All of the other 
programs I use output files that use > </trkpt> to terminate a track 
point element, but then they have stuff to go between the > and the 
</trkpt> parts.
