I don't think this would be a good idea, they aren't GPS traces, it
would also remove or make more difficult if things need to be
attributed to know what to attribute to whom.

It would be better to have a parallel system for things like shape
files that could be loaded similar to GPS traces rather than show
horning things into existing frame work.
