the old XMLRPC interface returned uploaded waypoints with
user and timestamp information
with those informations it was possible to recreate
the original tracks

the new REST interface for "Uploaded Points" seems to return only the
raw lat/lon information
Shouldn't we change this? maybe something like
  <trkpt lon='-0.20506667' lat='51.495342' id='1234'/>
with an request that returns the full information
(or for privacy reasons only track-id and order)
for a list of trpkpt id's
