Once the Web of Linked Data crystallizes, smart agents will emerge and start roaming etc.. These agents need precision, so ambiguity will cause problems. At this point there will be broader context for these matters.

The trouble with all of this is that we are retrofitting an existing system at two levels: 1. User Perception 2. Base Infrastructure. It isn't easy, but is doable. We just need to keep the construction out of the user realm. Middleware fixed such matters pre web, and it will fix such matters as the Web continues to blossom.
