Allow me to clarify:

The word "control" used in the context analogous to:
"The Republican controls the Senate."

I interpret it as "the Republican has majority of the Senate".

Same thing here.  Microsoft have an overwhelming majority on the
specification to SOAP.  Any changes will probably require a vote, if a
dispute occurs.

be interested, but I'll use whatever charm I have left to persuade him.
