[Dx4win] ADIF output

I recently started using Club Log (http://www.clublog.org/about.php)
which is a website where you can upload your log data and get some nice
stats about it, as well as providing the data for aggregate "most
wanted" lists and other information.
If found what I think are a couple of problems with the ADIF output from
DX4Win. First, I have a handful of QSOs that are logged in D4W as
mode=Packet and band=Sat. (They were via the Packet repeater aboard the
ISS.) The ADIF output shows the band as xxxm. The Club Log folks said
this isn't valid, though I am not familiar enough with the ADIF spec to
know if the Mode and Prop_Mode fields should be sufficient. Does anyone
know what it should say?
The other issue issue is for QSOs marked as Invalid for DXCC. According
to the Club Log folks, they are looking either for an ADIF entity number
of zero or a QSL_SENT or QSL_RCVD set to I (for invalid). I guess I can
manually set the invalid QSOs to a QSL type of I, though for some (for
instance HZ1MD), the QSL was valid, it just wasn't accepted (lack of
documentation) by the DXCC desk. I guess in the future it might be
useful if D4W could somehow indicate that these weren't valid in the ADIF.
For now, I'll work around these (there are few enough that I can edit by
hand), but I figured I'd just throw this out there.
