Thanks for this post because with everything unplugged in my house, I have a TED screaming at me with a 10/20 watt standby load with EVERYTHING unplugged that I have yet to track down. I'm going to be pulling the TED into the garage and shutting off circuits to see where this load is sitting. I have a feeling that the doorbell transformer may be a contributer, perhaps a large one to this. Other culprits are perhaps GFCIs, apparently they burn power in their monitoring circuit but I have yet to figure it out.
