 Hi,

 We have a JOSM bug (#josm7648) that should be fixed on OSM server side as
 it will impact all applications processing XML API responses.

 This track contains an invalid character in its description:
 http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/CornyJoe/traces/1209300

 (0x001A is not the expected German character). This cause XML parsers to
 fail when downloading GPX data in this area.

 Is it possible to ensure GPX tracks descriptions replied by the API
 contain only valid XML characters ?

 Thanks
