2 possible choices I can see:
1) 5♥ is also 2 places to play, one of them being spades.
2) 5♥ is a slam try in spades WITH HEART CONTROL, while 5♠ would be ASKING for heart control.
I'd vote for the second option.

Spades and a minor, slam try.
... 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

Ditto Gnasher.
"Champions aren't made in gyms, champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. " - M. Ali

I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

Absent agreement, I'd take 5♥ the same way as bucky and others, and assume that all non-slam forcing two-suiters start with 4NT (possibly the slam forces, too). If advancer starts with 4NT, most people would treat 5♠ over doubler's 5m as offering a choice between 5 (or 6)♠ and 6 of doubler's minor. I imagine an immediate 5♥ could be a try for grand in another strain, too.

whatever you think this means, 4NT followed by 5♠ shows the other

Are there not three ways to get to 5♠
1. 5♠
2. 5♥
3. 4NT followed by 5♠

For us it would be:
1. Slam try in ♠, no heart control
2. Slam try in ♠, with heart control
3. 2-suiter, ♠+minor

Sorry, should have specified, playing a jump to 5♠ showing lack of ♥ control is IMO expert standard, so that one is out, the other 2 might be switched and there are arguments for both, I think its easier to remember 4NT as 2 places to play and cuebid showing only 1 place, but maybe that's jsut me.
