Make DOORS 9 ReqIF Import tolerate (extra) spaces between HTML tags for tables, lists and other structures

Different tools format data in different ways. Extra spaces may be used by some tools, and not by others. Currently DOORS 9 cannot tolerate extra spaces in some HTML tags, for example <td></td> works, but <td> </td> does not.

Changing the default view access

ReqIF option 'No locks. Exported data is read-only.' should instead read something like this: 'No locks. Update not possible'

The current option wording is misleading for customers. A ReqIf-Export without option to update exported date is something that is not the intention of primary function of ReqIF: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requirements_Interchange_Format "R...
