Two things. First, the above sentence should be "So to my mind there is no
absolute semantics, or more precisely meaning, to jdkdsfjkds."

Second, if instead of laying down an absolute definition of 'car' or better
'title' you could define or describe the context where it means one thing
instead of another then you might be on to something. But then you'd have to
count on users or developers putting it in the right context and you might
as well be using Word again. Until machines think . . .

Are there any linguists at the W3?
