What version(s) of WoW are you using?
Retail
What problem are you experiencing that led to you asking for this feature?
In my local copy I’m using this:

Note the highlighted line (""
), not the other modified strings.
Why?
A tiny change in terms of informations and UI, but a noticeable change in terms of UX.
Corner space for text labels is sparse, we only got 4. In my setup, the expansion label notoriously conflicts with the native tier label for reagents. My peronal thing, don’t worry.
The tier label (the Blizz one) is very important for current-expansions reagents, it is less important for legacy-expansion regents. On the other hand, being/knowing that we are on current expansion could be considered as default, if you want so. So, the label is largely redundant (for current expansion).
Users who do not use all 4 corners, are not concerned at all. But if one of your corners is competing between Blizz Reagent Tier label and <whatever>, this might be a helper.
What solution would you like?
Either set the string to "", or – better – add a user option for this,
Any alternatives you can think of?
No, there are no alternatives. The only alternative would be leaving it as it is, but this would be subpar and no-one would want this, in this universe ;)
Anything else?
Thanks for the really great addon!
PS
A screenie that shows current-exp items without their label (i.e. not conflicting with the Blizz Tier indicator), and others with their labels (upper left corner):
