A: No.

However, ruling this design legal is not just about its multiple uses. Personally, I find more potential in the phrase "two pieces interconnected so that they would be one piece". As we've been repeatedly told, "There is no formal definition of appendage, however a colloquial definition is "a subordinate part attached to something; an auxiliary part; addition" (courtesy of disctionary.com). To elaborate, an appendage, when extended beyond the Frame Perimeter, is a contiguous assembly."

I would suggest ensuring that your "two pieces" have very, very obvious contiguity.

Agreed. There's a thread on that http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...=100696&page=3

right there.
