Is that a 50/50 mix of each?  That would make a final product that was Xtol
1+9 and Rodinal 1:100. I think the Rodinal would be the primary developer as
it is often used at this dilution but Xtol at 1+9 would have very little
activity. The pH would go up though because of the Rodinal...

Hmmmm......  Can't hink of any reason (chemically) why it wouldn't work to
some degree but why???  Either one alone would be better.
