I, too have been noodling this. I've had sucess with taking care of all of
the reciprocity corrections at the time of exposure. I process normal.

The whole thing about overexpose and under develop, or underexpose to over
develop never made sense to me as the conditions under which I shoot could
change mid-roll.
