Okay, here's my contribution.

Case 1

1C opening ; 1H answer showing 4+ spades.

But LHO has overcalled 1H.

Now a double (in my system at least) shows the equivalent of a 1H 
response (1S would deny spades), minus some specific types of hands 
(mainly those worth a WJR, which we don't play noncompetitively).

Since everything that is said by the 1H response is also said by the 
double, this substitution should be allowed IMOBO.


Case 2

West opens 2C (clubs, opening values), but is told South has opened 2D 
(weak).

Now West overcalls 2NT, showing 4S and 5+C, and sound (don't preempt 
over a preempt).

Don't tell me such overcalls don't exist. I can send you my convention card.

Once again, nothing is said by 2C that isn't said by 2NT, so I do allow 
the substitution.


I'm cuious about what you're aiming at.


Best regards
