I was thinking more of the following situation:

<ww:bean id="dateFormatter" name="'webwork.util.DateFormatter'">
    <ww:param name="date" value="'illegal'" />
    <ww:property value="formattedDate" />
</ww:bean>

This shows no errors (to the user or the server side logs) and prints out
the current date.
