I do the following:
 - Open GPX in Josm
 - Convert to data layer
 - Remove the unwanted parts
 - Simplify Way
 - Add tags
 - Upload to the main database.

Why not?

I suppose the algorithm is well known and definited: nodes should 
be removed only if the semplified way does not diverge by a 
predefinite amount.

I see an open ticket to make the simplify tool user adjustable.
