The most immediate problem for this approach is that it’s not clear how it could work for embedded contexts.
The other is, of course, to spell out the context-independent meaning and explain precisely how pragmatics operates on it. It’s also not clear that this notion of a strong semantics-pragmatics divide with independent and invariant semantic meanings is tenable in general.
