There are four parts to that spec that we can update:
- Right-hand polygon orientation (winding)
- Splitting geometries into collections when they cross 180 degrees
- Storing all data in LL84, with Z in meters if present
- Setting application/geo+json as the mime type
As far as I know, polygon orientation and mime type were updated in 2017.0.
The coordinate system is updated for 2017.1 - a new 'Reproject to WGS84' parameter was added to the writer. It defaults to 'yes' meaning new workspaces will automatically produce this coordinate system, while old workspaces will behave as they always did (for backwards compatibility).
[nb: if you have an old workspace, but want to comply to the new spec's coordinate system, then simply reproject to LL84 in a transformer. Then it will write the data in LL84 but with no coordsys definition - meeting the new spec]
So, geometry splitting seems to be the only remaining item to do. For reference, it is PR#72160

I think GeoJSON FeatureCollections defeat GeometryReplacer with GeoJSON as the option.

Z needs to be controlled as positive up too. I see GeoJSON out there with depth coordinates positive down.

Currently there is a problem with the GeoJSON writer when writing multiple feature types. The workaround for now is to use one feature type per dataset, or use dataset fanout. A more comprehensive solution is planned for 2018.1. For more info see: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/40806/workarounds-to-known-issues-in-fme-20170.html
