I started this idea last year, but haven't been pushing it,
http://aronsson.se/tracklog-archive/

My idea is to separate the archive from the tagging.  In the 
archive, each tracklog (GPX) file just gets a unique number.  
Then you can make your own annotations (or tagging) somewhere 
else, by reference to the archive number.  Tags and annotations 
can be changed over time (perhaps in a wiki), but the tracklogs 
and the archive needs to be write-only and immutable.
