My understanding is that we could simply change this code to load a format from some configuration property if no format is provided and the configuration is set (the code to parse a Velocity format string is already there). This might have a performance impact, though, so I wouldn't suggest to have a default format specifier and we could look into at least caching the compiled Velocity code.
