I have a gpx file that contains elevation inside of the track point attributes that does not get parsed.

This is the schema definition:

https://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd

This is the file:

https://www.gaiagps.com/hike/259034/gunung-kinabalu-via-timpohon-summit-trail/

<trkpt lat="6.028831" lon="116.547172" ele="1878.0"/>

This is incorrect.

Elevation data in GPX files should be represented as a child element (with tag <ele>) of the waypoint (or track point <trkpt>, in this case), rather than as an attribute of it.

In the case of your example, it should be represented as:

<trkpt lat="6.028831" lon="116.547172">
    <ele>1878.0</ele>
</trkpt>
