What 10 speed cassettes are you using that are properly spaced for
half-stepping? Usually anything 8 and above was designed for crossover,
with gears spaced too close together to make splitting the difference
worth while; what's more, getting to the half-way gear with most modern
stuff would require a 2 or 3 tooth difference vs the 4 or 5 tooth
difference we used to use back in 5 & 6 speed freewheel days, and I'm
not even sure chainrings come in those combinations anymore.
As for a half-step arrangement with a 10 speed cassette and chainrings 2
or 3 teeth apart, I don't really see this giving you the versatility of
a compact double 10. For one thing, you give up all your low gears.
This is why we used to use HS+G rather than just HS, the way the racers did.
Or am I totally misunderstanding you?

There was a lot to like about HSG back in the day. Still,
with today's components (>7 speed cassettes) it no longer
makes much sense.
