Well, James, it looks like you got your wish.  Google released a parser
for English.  Some of the issues we've discussed are discussed in the
article.

Google's Parsey McParseface

As a side note on context, take the following line from a movie a few
years ago.  When read, it is entirely out of context.  You don't know
who is saying it and what is actually being discussed.

"It's been a long time since I smelled beautiful."

Now, if you knew or assumed a guy said it, you'd think he was saying
that he stinks, and maybe needs a bath or deodorant.  But, the guy
wasn't talking about himself.  His comment was in regards to a woman.
This line was in "The Chronicls of Riddick."  There is a couple parsing
problems here.  The first is that "beautiful" can't be smelled.  The
second is that even if you know a guy is saying this, there is no
context that "beautiful" is in regards to a woman, and not the speaker,
unless you're watching the movie.  The visual context within the movie
is unwritten context unknowable to a mere reader.
