I don't agree, partner's shape with 3 spades has to be 3244, and if it is possible, I bet it is not a shape to play for.

Also I even disagree with opening 1♥ with 5♠, I understand (don't agree with them but I think they have a good point) the possible benefits of opening 1m with minor + major, but when you have both majors you will hate to bid spades at next round, no matter the level.

What do you do if you don't double?

If you systemically open 1S with 5-6 or 5-7 in the majors then all subsequent inferences are different, certainly, but that isn't the normal approach, particularly with a strong major 2-suiter.

I can bid 4♦ with that hand, doubl is not unreasonable also.
