Yes the 5H bidders are resulting, 1H 3S 5H is definitely a slam try in hearts with no spade control. I'm sure they'd all find that bid if the given hand was xx KQxx AKQxx Ax.
What happened to don't preempt over a preempt? Part of the logic is as Andy said, it's unneccesary to preempt LHO when RHO is never going to bid again anyways.
The 5 level belongs to?

What makes you think LHO will double a delayed 5♥ and not a direct 5♥?
Because in the first case he has already shown his spade support.
What? So what? His partner is never going to pull his X of 5H because he raised to 4S already. Ergo it is completely irrelevant if he's shown his spade support or not, his partner is out of the auction.

I'll bid 4♥ then 5♥ if necessary.
RHO has limited his hand fairly closely since he could have bid either 2♠ or 4♠ instead. Therefore he is going to be out of the auction and LHO will be making all the decisions. It's quite unlikely we will get to play 4♥ but even more unlikely that bidding 5♥ immediately will give opponents (ie LHO) a more difficult problem than if I bid it slowly.

Josh is it practically negligible that partner has 4 spades and LHO one?
Yes. What do you want him to have, 11 cards in the minors or something?
Also I agree with Art also that 5♥ asking for a spade control is so rare as to be virtually useless.
yeah, much more likelly to have a vul vs not preemptive
