The Irish Virtual Research Library and Archive uses Fedora to store objects including EAD finding aids.

EAD at Harvard here

The same record in Fedora here, note the EAD_DOC Data stream.

Fedora Diseminators are used to format the XML record using XSLT, the final output includes tabbed output, handle links and a delicious link. Note that they are using Handles for the internal links (instead of Fedora PIDs).
