"At last: just calm down, this kind of disrupted boards happens every day in our bridge community. It will always be an inherent part of bridge until we move to a modern platform, and then will we have other hopefully less frequent issues." P Swennson

"It's only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence!"
"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

Yes, part of German standard (Forum D) in fact. Does that make it any better, though?

No, it's not. You could just rebid 2♥. Or, better yet, allow opener to rebid a 3-card minor.
Of course, allowing 5 hearts in 1NT is also a very good idea...

Yes, there is always a lot of advantages in playing treatments that are standard where you play bridge.

an the german standard system is heavily influenced by the
french standard system.
Playing the jump rebid as 15-17, is as good as any solution
to the problem, what opener has to bid on his 2nd turn, when
he happens to have a bal. hand with a 5 card major and the
strength to open 1NT.
If you bid this way, you wont miss a 5-3 major suit fit, and
you dont have to overload your NT response strucure to find out,
that the NT opener has a 5 card major.
With kind regards

If you try it with a random North American partner, you're more likely to get told "ridiculous."

IMO, a better solution would be to rebid 2NT to show good 16 to 18 and open 1NT with 15 to normal 16. Opening 1NT with 5 M and 17 can often be rather bad when partner holds some shapely (or even balanced) 7-8 HCP with 4 cards support.
