[blml] why no convention card?

The two are different.  RKBC is artificial.  5C must show either 0/3 or 1/4;
it's just a question of which.    

But in the cue bid auction 4D shows a diamond control, but negative inferences
from having bypassed 4C might well not have been discussed by that pair.
In the absence of a specific agreemement, no problems would be created
by answered a question about the negative inferences to be drawn from the 
failure to bid 4C by "no agreement", "we haven't ever discussed it", "not sure", 
"I don't know", or the like.
