I don't understand this aspect.  It seems to me if a question is an
action, then it affects the ruling, because the ruling would in that
case probably be that West gets no questions answered before the
opening lead.  (I am thinking now just of the opening lead; even on
the opening lead, West would be cautioned in the manner Sven
originally suggested.)

It sounds to me (Please pardon me if I misunderstood) that you two are
saying that you know what information West would get by asking and can
handle the fallout, but I would not be so sure, and I would rather
simply bar the question for a more robust prevention of UI.
