[Dxbase] Logging digital mode qso's.

I use DxBase2007 for most of my logging but I am using Mixw 2.19
for my digital operation. I have some problems with the modes when I
export the MixW log to Adif and then import it into DxBase.
DxBase does not differentiate between BPSK31 and BPSK63 or PSK31 and PSK63.

<QSL_SENT:1>N<QSL_RCVD:1>N<EOR>

The two adif lines above show that Mixw exports the mode as PSK31 and 
PSK63 while the submode is BPSK for both
of them. DxBase log these as MODE = DIGITAL and SUBMODE = BPSK.  In the 
SUBMODE pulldown menu I find
PSK31 but not PSK63. Has someone else seen this as a problem and is 
there a solution for this?
Does the Adif standard give any direction to how these mode shall be set?
