Yes, I'm now asking if there are any in common use.

Things that we think today are important. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats]. [link\|http://DocHope.com\|http://DocHope.com]

As Todd suggests, they are mostly academic documents of some kind.
