I was just talking recently with one of the top romanian bidding theorists about a similar position. He suggested a better treatment. Let's just put in partner's place. Consider you pass and partner doesn't hold ♥Ace or singleton, but the King. Let's consider for the sake of discussion that he holds smth like KQxxx Kx J10x xxx. What would he do? He'll bid a clueless 5♠. My friend sugetion was to play xx for showing the Queen and not enough strength for moving on, and a 5NT+ bid with the Ace and grand slam hand. This treatment has some sense for me .
