A crazy idea about combining film developers

from Kevin (kkemner@tateandsnyder.com)
I'm guessing that this is the kind of question that anybody with common sense should know better about but...

If its common practice to do split developing with graded papers (such as dektol first for the darks and selectol for the high lights) is it possible to combine film developers for the same purpose? Say starting out with something vigorous like rodinal for zones 1-4 and then finishing development in PMK for zones 5 and higher. You could split the time between the two 1/3 and 2/3 as a starting point. Is there any historical basis to this idea or is it a formula for a Frankenstein's monster?

Thanks
