Well, a date formatter formats dates ;)
The best way IMHO is to remove the date formatter if a non-date is to be
shown. Somewhat cleaner *perhaps* might be not to use formatter over the
field at all, but use it internally to preformat values to be shown there if
needed.
Third, you can make your own date formatter, which would interpret some
illegal date (or perhaps nil or so) as "expired" and show it that way. It
seems to be the cleanest way, but looks like a bit of overkill for that task.
