 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.
