3-4 point distant high approach, tenuki, inside contact

Dieter: After a search on Gobase, I realize one can't speak of joseki here. The variations are just too much.
Charles Matthews Brave guy! I think there are some unexplored joseki out there. I have heard tell of a Yasunaga Hajime variation that may be poorly documented.
Low hane
Bill: And
is more efficiently placed than on takamoku (b). This is better for White than the corresponding takamoku joseki.
Now a will soon become very big, both making and denying a base.
Bill: I doubt it. (That comment was made before I added
. But if Black wants to attack if White omits
, a is not the place to play.)
Inside hane
[2] a, b, c or d are considered joseki. The move at e is interesting but bad for Black, usually.
First atari
Dieter: What is not clear to me, is whether a is now too important for Black to play tenuki. This result somehow reminds of a result of the large avalanche but for Black having sente I think.
This way looks fairly equal. Should Black use his sente to play a ?
I disagree with 10. It isn't needed to defend the cut, since a geta will do.
Tenuki
[3] DaveSigaty: You mentioned a second tenuki by Black at the top but did not show any variations. It is actually Black's most frequent choice (per GoGoD, I didn't confirm on Gobase), so it should also be considered joseki, no ? :).
