[blml] AI or UI

[Steve Willner]

This really happened, and I don't know the answer even after reading the 
FLB (1997 version).

East leads H-K, strongly suggesting possession of the Q, out of turn. 
The TD gives South, declarer, his options, and he requires a heart lead. 
The H-K is picked up; West duly leads a small H, and East plays the Q.

1. Under the 1997 Laws, is East's possession of H-K AI or UI to West?

2. Does it change under the new Laws?  If so, why?

(In the actual case, East got on lead early and put H-K on the table, so 
the point was irrelevant, but the question is still worth answering.)
