What do you suggest in the case given the premise that the declaring side 
makes an OLOOT:



W  N  E  S

P-  P- P- 1N

PPP



N pulls a card from his hand, says*, 'my lead?' and [immediately] faces his 
card?  Let us say that W calls the TD.





*= an attempt to avoid dribbling on about whether S intended to lead.
