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.

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]

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.
