This is an important philosophical question: should humans become better at communicating in machine-parseable ways, or should machines become better at parsing human communication?

Preferably the latter, but human communication is inherently ambiguous and heavily sensitive to context, and so actually implementing this is really hard* and thus the former is actually (slightly) feasible at the moment.

*In fact, probably impossible: how often does one have to actually ask the author what they actually meant? Not appropriate for offline computer processing.
