I'm not recording this as a win unless it's shown that "certain powers" in the generic sense that a foreign nomic might grant them is the same as power in the specific. I don't think it is. I also think that even if they were the same, R2148 does not raise the foreign nomic (as an instrument) to any power above zero, which would be a necessary first step to allow the foreign nomic to grant the ambassador a power above zero (R2140). I agree that "privileges" is generic in both R101 and R2148 and so probably works as described. -Goethe
