3-4 point, high approach, one-space low pincer, 3-3 attachment
The attachment at is a common reply to the one space low pincer. Black will usually either cut at a or play hane at b. The immediate jump to c is a new pattern that is still being explored.

Cut on the inside

This is a well-established line too. Next White plays a (simple), or b, c which are both complex. See 34 Point ,High Approach, One Space Low Pincer, 33-Attachment, Outside Hane, Large Scale Fight.
Recently there have been experiments with , also.
Kogo's joseki dictionary says that this is the modern way, and gives some variations which look rather complicated. Game search have found 121 pro games with this position, mostly played since 1997; a is by far the most common continuation (70/121), but all of b through e appear also. More SL analysis needed, a.o. about white forcing at 'f' then attacking at 'g'.
Two point jump
14 professional games in 2007-2008 have featured the following pattern:
a and b both appeared as followups for white to strengthen his group, but it seems a variety of moves are being experimented with.
