Can you craft maps of the Nether?

Question

So we know that a maps location is based on the first time you look at it, but can you craft a map of the Nether?

Yes, but they don't do you much good.  From the wiki:

While maps in the Nether work, it has
  a ceiling, and all that will be shown
  is red and gray. The only useful
  function is finding where you are in
  relation to where you made the map.
  Additionally, the direction indicator
  rapidly spins and is not a good
  indicator of direction. Remembering
  that maps are East at the top and that
  the L corner of nether blocks points
  north is more reliable. And as long as
  the map was created near a portal,
  that map's center will always be that
  portal.

You can break the ceiling of the Nether (although getting there is only safe in Creative), so if you break the ceiling the map might map out the actual landscape. I haven't tried this, but I think it would work well.
