Two separate circuits feeding the two halves of the receptacle.

Even if I were connecting two circuits to the outlet, I would never
think of breaking the neutral link.

Then you would wire it incorrectly -- and dangerously. What you describe is
safe *only* in the case of a properly configured multiwire branch circuit
(aka
Edison circuit) and in _no other_ case.

I would think the code would prohibit the connecting of a duplex
receptacle to two different panels.

It doesn't.

Can you think of a situation where you would want to feed one
recptacle from two panels?

No -- but then, I wasn't the one who brought that up, either. You were. :-)


Last question, and I will let it die.

Can you think of a situation where you would break the neutral tab?
