I say this "from a great distance," but here goes:  if you consider that 
AU:Urban or AU:rural (and/or similar) are QUITE LOOSE compared to EXPLICIT 
tagging, you might be able to nudge things ahead in a semantic parsing sense.  
It won't be perfect, it likely never will be (ambiguities about whether it's 
valid to "do" this, or that...are never-ending) but it can "oomph things 
forward" a bit, sometimes more.  Not much more than that, but better than 
nothing.

This is tough stuff, and it is context-driven as to where there is a boundary 
and where fuzzy becomes "um, I'm shrugging my shoulders."  Keep an eye on that.
