Which also seems to mean that deleting the tracklog file has no effect
on the served points.  Thats fine - but perhaps the tracklog page on OSM
could indicate this near the delete button. 

I am still not really any closer to finding the cause of the points I
see as wrong. In case my manual edits of the gpx files caused faults, I
have run them through SAXCount as described on the topografix website,
and they are syntactically fine. I have found, though, that 10 of my 23
uploaded files contained a bad timestamp on the first track point, like
this: <time>1923-06-01T01:34:01Z</time>. I have checked the associated
locations though, and they are ok, and not the same as the bad points. 

Etienne, I have taken your suggestion of loading the gpx directly into
JOSM, and the result looks much like my QGIS project. If I download from
the server in JOSM, the bad points are present.  

Basically its just a curiosity issue and I don't think I will pursue it
any further.  Either someone else put them there, or somehow, some issue
in my data produced them. Either way, if its impossible to get rid of
points once they are there its a bit of a moot point. 

cheers
Andrew.
