If the FeatureReader fails to read a file, it outputs 1 feature from the <Rejected> port.
But sometimes, the FeatureReader fails to read only some features. I would love to be able to report somehow that a certain amount of features failed to read. I can imagine a <Skipped> port would be very helpful for this.
It could output all skipped features (with Null geometry and an attribute specifying the reason it was skipped), or 1 feature with a list attribute containing the dataset name, failure reasons and the number of occurrences.

This would be very useful! Especially in situations where you are evaluating the quality of the data. If the reader finds a feature it can't handle it would be great to have a skipped features port so you can include information about those skipped features in an output report with the rest of the evaluation results or in an email.
