Hi Mark

I just tok a look at your first transformer - Bravo - I think it would worke

I just have this comment, you should not use the TCL function as it is quit 
slow comparede to Tcl2 and

In Tcl2 you dont have the FME_Attributes array, in stead you have a group 
off functions allowing you to manipulate and query the attributes this is 
mutch faster and more flexible

you could try and replace TCL with Tcl2 and the tcl stuff with the function 
i just mailede to the lsit
