Expressions, links, and orientation constraints work too... the bone rotation parameter just needs something driving it.

I have made a typical reverse foot out of single

thought I'd try throwing all the chains into FK mode
by keying the IK/FK switch for each.  It almost works.
 Except, when I rotate a parent bone, the child
insists on
pointing at its effector, which is still consrained to
the reverse foot.  Doesn't this seem odd?  If I have a
chain in FK mode, why would its default behavior be to
point at the effector when its parent's transform is
changed?  There are of course ways to
work around this.  But its still perplexing.  Any
thoughts?
