Sport tourers with cantilever brakes?

The "Sport Touring Bike" taxonomy has been thoroughly work over here, and touring bikes get gradated from heavy to light.

I'm wondering about bikes that have cantilever brakes, but are realy "lighter than light", but not quite Cyclocross bikes and certainly not Hybrids.

I've seen the Bridgestone RBT described in these terms, and maybe the Bianchi Volpe, and perhaps even the later model Miyata 1000's.

My own experience with a triple butted splined tube Koga Miyata supports this, but I am Not A Small Person....

So what other touring bikes judged too light and noodley are out there between niches?
