My preference is natural. No idea if there's a standard.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Agree: Natural, and don't know.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Natural and not sure. But since everyone here seems to be of the same opinion, maybe that makes it standard.
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

Natural would be my guess but I'm not sure I've seen this at the table.

I've never seen it, but I'd assume natural, like everyone else so far

last night we had the auction
3C P 4C 4NT
the 4NT bidder meant it as simple blackwood, and it was understood as such by his partner!

Natural, but wouldn't be shocked if it was intended otherwise by quite a few.
