If that is really what you want to do, it will work. But still, why not let the repeated component handle the formatting?
Do not subclass repeater, use it normally. Create a component containing your label and text inputs. Pass the currentItem into your custom component via a setter and in the setter invoke the formatting.

Have you tried a binding function to do this? <mx:Repeater dataProvider="{ formatData( datas as XML )}" .. You need to write a method formatData( x : XML ) : XML which creates a new formatted XML from the input xml. Ralf.
