I don't quite follow how the difference betwixt (1) and (3) was meant.
Nevertheless, the thing is quite simple:

- if your data source sends attributed strings *anyway* (either since
they are cached in some mutable array or whatever, or they are
generated on the fly), that's that;
- otherwise (ie. if the data source sends NSStrings or other objects),
use the willDisplayCell delegate method.
