Sorry about the confusion. "OSM GPX" is *not* the new 0.2 "osm" format XML. 
Rather, it is GPX with every segment inside its own <trk> tag i.e.

<trk>
<trkseg>
....
</trkseg>
</trk>
<trk>
<trkseg>
....

Previously osmeditor wrote out a version of GPX with only one trk tag in the 
whole file i.e.

<trk>
<trkseg>
...
</trkseg>
<trkseg>
....
</trkseg>
<trkseg>
...

etc.
I have now removed support for the second (original) version.

Know what you mean, it looks that way.

OK that's good :-) Have looked at the source code in subversion (nodes and 
segments) and it seems to make sense. When you're done are you intending to 
add an upload facility for "osm" format?

BTW I tried using the "segment" feature of the 0.2 API last night (using a UID 
of a segment present in the database). i.e.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.2/segment/XXX

It gave me an internal server error; guess that bit's not done yet?
