To be visible on the OSM map "Public GPS Traces" layer, the GPX

who, for instance, do hiking in wilderness. Because sometimes a path
is not mapped yet, but a GPX trace shows that someone could actually
walk there. And if there are several traces, it means that there is
probably a path.
It would be a good idea if these public GPX traces were shown also as
a line in JOSM.
If you read the description you will see "public" just means the
points are public but the ordering it not.
The "trackable" level extends that to include ordering.

I got it now. I understood from this page:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Visibility_of_GPS_traces
that if I want a GPX trace to be displayed both on the the OSM map
"Public GPS Traces" layer and in the JOSM as a meaningful line, I should
publish it with "Identifiable" option.
A GPX trace which was uploaded with "Public" option could be displayed
correctly only as dots in the JOSM and other editors from now on.
"Trackable" GPX file will not be visible on the the OSM map "Public GPS
Traces" layer.
I assume (in future) the JOSM editor shall not be attempting to display
"public" GPXs as a confusing meaningless lines, but only as dots. And
display as lines the "Identifiable" and "trackable" traces.
Best regards,
Oleksiy
