I downloaded some tracks as GPX files, but found on inspecting them that every <trkpt> tag listed had not been closed (with a </trkpt>). I was able to rectify the problem fairly easily, but I thought I'd mention it here.

Hm – generally the GPX export uses self-closing tags, like this:
You’ll note that the /> (with a slash) at the end means “this tag closes itself”, so it doesn’t need a separate </trkpt>. But if it’s producing non-self-closing tags somewhere, do let me know where!
