I can't see any harm in 4♦.

- 3NT: pass or eventually raise to 4NT if feeling luck
- 4♥: pass or raise to 5♥ if you play it shows wide open diamonds
- spade raise bid: pass/sign off in 4♠

You probably just forgot that option, but anyway, if partner bids 4♦ to your 3♠ you have to try 4♥ instead of sing off in 4♠. It will hardly be worse.

The 3♠ idea is interesting, it keeps the most options open. It's not like we are so sure we belong in hearts with xx.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.
