Yes, about a dozen I think.

Oo-oo!  Lots of hits on this, all look like:

      <split:quantity>-1/0</split:quantity>


Hmmm, now that I look at this, I'm a bit more confused. M hese seem to
be appearing all over the place, and I do think each on is in a
scheduled transaction, but they can appear more than once in a
transaction.  In each case, immediately preceding the "quantity" -1/0
is a line like this:

      <split:value>0/100</split:value>

Here's an example:
