If RON is shorthand for something like Rule of 19, then this hand
qualifies 
as an opening, when the upgrade  factors are considered: singleton instead

of 2-2 in the other two suits, and solid 10987 spots behind the Jack in 
hearts.

I am surprised you did not get to 4S, limit raise with responder's hand is
a 
conservative view.
