I like both those bids Ken (indeed, there is no way to bid 55 invitational in std methods) but what do you do with 55 in minors?

2NT is a relay to 3♣, showing a bust minor (pass or bid 3♦ to play), or a 2344/3244 quantitative-ish hand (bid the doubleton major), or 6♣/4♦ mild slam try (bid 3NT, or some weird 4♣+ options.

2♠ is sort of MSS. Opener only shows a minor with extras. Responder can have a weak minor two-suiter (will presumably pass Opener's selected minor or will bid 3♣ after 2NT as pass-or-correct, but might get frisky with the tweener if Opener shows extras and four pieces in a minor). If Opener bids 2NT and Responder next bids a major, that shows a stiff from a GF minor two-suiter. 3♦ and 3NT by Responder are 6-4 minors the other way, and 4♣+ options.
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

And what of AQxxxx of a minor a queen?
