Can't the presence of this data be seen by examining the GPX file to see if
there are <ele> sub-elements inside each <trkpt> element?  The user doesn't

I think it would be better to specify the model of GPS device you used, which
can then be matched against a database of model quirks including such things
as whether it undulates the geoid correctly.  Because 90% of users (even on a
pretty technical site like osm.org) will have no idea what geoid undulation is
or whether their GPS device does it.
