I disagree that the 4D cue bid makes the player who splintered the captain. The splinter is supposed to define that players hand clearly - and hand over captaincy. After the splinter 4S is a sign off and A cue bid is then a slam try, and the normal development from there is probably 4S ("nothing more to say"), or a further cue bid/blackwood ("looks promising, let's check we've got the important cards").
This is all style stuff but this is why I've started to avoid adopting conventions purely on the strength of the brief descriptions on bridgeguys.com and similar. :)
