Our solution is that 3 imposes trumps (invites opener to make a control-bid) whereas 2 is a generic game force without direction and orders partner to clarify his hand without taking initiatives (no fast arrival). From what I gather that seems fairly standard.

The way I play XYNT (aka two-way-new-minor-forcing), 3 sets trumps, suggests interest in slam, and asks (but does not demand) partner to make a control bid.

Pretty standard I would say, but the follow-up question is then the meaning of 1 - 1; 2 - 2; 3. I suspect this is simply a DNE for most pairs.

I think this shows a broken 6 card suit instead of a solid one.

Sensible...but would you not just bid 2->2->3 with that?
