But doesn't the representation include meaning?

No, in the sense that the device-tree representation doesn't define
what meaning or interpretation is to be given to particular node and
property names or to particular property values.

I'll rephrase what I said to what I think we all agree.  Changing
existing fields meanings in incompatible ways and not somehow allowing
that to still work (like by adding a flag so new trees are interpreted
one way, old trees are fixed-up or whatever) is a problem.

Yes it's a problem.  Not one that we want to solve by changing the dt
version number, though.
