I know.  That's why I wrote "from almost the very onset" rather than
"from the very onset."   The original R-S idea (in their book
"Bridge is a partnership game" and also magazine aarticles) was different but
it never really got any traction in the U.S.  Their idea of using the dbl for
takeout did catch on quickly though, with (at least in the US, Norway and
Japan) the "neg x" at the one level showing 4 (if unbid is spades) or
4+ (if hearts) in the unbid maj.
