Yes, this termination with a 0.75V power supply that is capable of sourcing and
sinking current, is sometimes used.

This is a valid HSTL I termination.

This spec. guarantees that the driver will source or sink at least Ioh/Iol while
meeting Voh/Vol levels.

There is no max. Ioh/Iol spec. According to the spec., an HSTL Class II driver is
also HSTL Class I compliant. If you plan to use HSTL Class I drivers to drive
unterminated lines, you may have to design the buffer to not only meet the HSTL
spec. but also limit the output impedance to be greater than about 38 ohm, to
avoid overshoot/undershoot.
