 Ran a mapping party with newbie users.

 One user was recording GPX tracks with OSM Tracker for Android. WHen it
 came to upload the tracks to OSM, the user managed to select some jpg's
 instead of the GPX files!

 Unfortunately, OSM didnt complain that it was the wrong filetype at
 upload, but only at the processing stage failed with a generic XML Parser
 error.

 Could you check on upload for file extensions, or if this is not doable,
 have a more descriptive error message on processing than a generic XML
 parser error ?
