For username-type attributes, show contents as strike-through when the underlying username has since been removed from the user list.

Currently, for a username type attribute, when during data entry an existing username is picked - let's say JDoe, and the attribute is saved for this object; upon modifying this user JDoe, for example by renaming them to DoeJ, or by deleting them, the attribute for this object appears to get cleared. This looks like data loss on the surface, but further analysis has shown, that the DOORS client just does not display the attribute if the username is not found in the user list. So no data is lost, but no data is displayed either. We propose to replace the "don't show" functionality with a "strikethrough the outdated / non-resolveable value". 
So that instead of "" the attribute would show as "JDoe". This would convey the situation that the username is no longer a valid one, more clearly, and avoid the impression of lost data, especially in baselines.
