[DANA PUOPOLO]

Sorta.
If you use three wires, you've got yourself a folded monopole.

Does anyone know of a shunt-fed, monopole installation where the feed wire 
is inserted at the tower base, makes a 90-deg bend, and extends up in the 
vertical plane on the tower vertical C/L to attach at the feedpoint?

That would eliminate feedline radiation in other than the vertical plane, 
and remove the "skywave" and DA issues with slant -wire feeds.  The tower 
might also shield the feed wire somewhat from lightning/EMP problems.
