We tried the event handler before and it did a lot more stuff that we
didn't want to happen, so I don't think that's necessarily the best
choice.
Richard's idea of having a format() method works, but is sub-optimal
since it requires extra work from you that is not part of the type
conversion framework. The whole point of type conversion is to avoid
doing this.
Instead, just simply make a call to $stack.findValue("...",
String.class). For example:
$stack.findValue("foo", "".class)
While that will work, it's incredibly ugly and involves creating a
String purely to pass String.class in to the findValue() method. I
_believe_ that the $util object has a helper to do this for you. If it
doesn't, we'll need to add it.
Hope that helps.

You could install event handler in velocity, which
will fire on reference extension - then it can do
whatever you like to convert reference value to
string.
I did it ( though not in webwork context ) to escape
xml characters
