Try the OGCGeometryExtractor. This will describe the geometry of an 
object as a binary or text string.

http://fmepedia.com/index.php/OGCGeometryExtractor has some more 
information on this.

No, but you could use the ListConcatenator to bring it all back to a 
single attribute. Most output formats can't handle the variable size 
aspect of lists.

Hope this helps!
