FME Workspace reader should return connection and bookmark info

The FMW reader reader need to return more information for it to be truly useful, notably

Transformer connections
Bookmarks (which transformer is in which bookmark)

fmw-to-xml.fmw Hi @david_r
I incuded a small workspace in releasecandidate 2017 that strips a .fmw file to a xml and then reads out the bookmarks or annything as you wish as it is xml.
A workaroud for the timebeing.
For each feature there are local coordinates wich can be used to build relations.
Greetings,
Patrick Koning

This has been released as part of FME 2017.0 . Visit http://www.safe.com/downloads to download it and give it a spin.

As of FME 2017 Connections are read from an FME Workspace using the FME Workspace Reader. Bookmarks are being read but we can't yet read what is inside the book mark. Thanks for the suggestions. [Note: this comment was edited]

In addition to that more detailed information about database connections would be helpful. Especially the actual database (NamedConnection, Connection File (e.g. SDE) or the instance with url and port) are relevant when documenting workspaces.

@denniswilhelm1 this was a good suggestion but was not covered in the recent work we did here. Do you mind creating a new idea for this suggestion
