It would be convenient if the Content-Type of GPX downloads was
"application/gpx+xml" instead of "text/xml". This would match the media
type defined for GPX on Wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_eXchange_Format), and would allow better
support for GPX-enabled applications to be selected automatically by the
browser/operating-system when users click on download links.
For example on iPhone Safari will render text/xml documents itself rather
than passing them off to an appropriate application. If the Content-Type
was application/gpx+xml then Safari would search for an installed
application that knew how to handle GPX files and allow the user to open
the download in that app.
