[sdiy] Ring Mod (was Re: Hadamard Transform Network)

It seems like everyone suddenly trigged on this trig' question.
Trig-OhNo!-metry.

Apropos the sum & difference frequencies:
Frequency shifting can be done with two ringmods (that are fed with sine &
cosine, and adding clever all-pass filtering to phase shift them into
cancellation of unwanted parts), but this involves quite an advanced setup.
Are there any other useful but simpler tricks you could do with
combinations of ringmods?
