Joseki?  



If Black here comes out with B1 after the unusual pincer white+circle, what happens?

[Diagram]
Joseki? (Black 11 at a, White 12 at b, Black 13 at c)  



white+circle is played too rarely to recognise anything as joseki (except for B1 itself), but the sequence here seems to be one of the candidates, being the only one I saw more or less replicated (although in a game with a black stone at the marked point, so a was not played, while b was not answered).

This (W2+W4) is an example of how the staircase sabaki technique is occasionally used to attack.
