the rows are rendered without calling explicitely the formatter because you
**could** want to do something with a "pure" python date object (e.g.
operations, etc).
Serializing using the grid instead calls the represent routine, so it gets
serialized according to the formatting.
BTW: beware (only for forms)... there's not a perfect match between python
datetime formatting to the widget in js: some combinations aren't paired
perfectly
