Is this a move order you see frequently?  I often thought that a Catalan player (like myself) would be more inclined to keep the pawn on d4...

5...b5!? quite leads to rich and pretty unexplored play. I suspect that both sides can reap some rewards with some home study of this line. See the coverage on ChessPub a few months back for further details.
