Greg,
My question was more for information than for a real intent. I have already
done the FT8 mapping, and it is working quit well

You could ask Rick M., Dave, or one of the other Trusted QSL developers, but, I
would think that adjustments to the client-side will have little to no
affect—other than mapping the mode to data—until the server-side model has been
updated to accommodate the new mode.
Even if the ADIF spec is released today, the backend work would still need to
be done before correct mapping of FT8 QSO’s could be realized. I don’t know
what the LoTW eng/test/production release process is, but I would suspect work
has already begun adding changes to the server model based on the proposed ADIF
changes.
I don’t really understand the urgency here. All one must do is hold back their
FT8 QSO’s until the LoTW server is ready to accept them (as FT8 QSO’s that is).
This situation “is not new”, it happens with every new mode / sub-mode
introduction.

3.0.6 has not had finally approval yet.
eQSL is just implementing it early.
I doubt ARRL will ever touch a draft ADIF spec.

Subject: [wsjt-devel] TQSL's config.xml
A question for smarter people than me.
TQSL’s config.xml contains all the modes acceptable to TQSL. Instead of
mapping FT8->DATA in TQSL, could I accomplish something similar but more
accurate by inserting a new XML coded line in config.xml?
Insert a line like: “<adifmode adif-mode="FT8" mode="FT8">FT8</adifmode>”
This might even be moot, since the new ADIF spec is out and includes FT8.
* LoTW’s website shows config.xml’s latest iteration is v11.0. No
mention of which ADIF spec.
* ADIF.ORG’s website still shows v3.0.5 as the latest.
* eQSL says it’s using ADIF spec 3.0.6.
It’s entirely possible that ARRL will update config.xml soon on its own.
