[IxDA Discuss] 2 part button - industry standard?

[Brett Ingram]

This may be one of those things I never consciously noticed.
It looks like its typically used for shortcuts to items that have  
some other navigation path available. It isn't used as the ONLY way  
to get to those items.

I'm still curious about the usability and history of these. I am  
working on a project in which we have a button with 2 parts and have  
found some significant usability issues with it.
