Having recently used "Classical" in its narrower sense, I think as musicians we have to consider the context. We were clearly talking about early 19th and late 18th century styles in the discussion about Bonade's approach to Rose. If you're talking about the demise of "classical" music in today's orchestral programs, the reference is fairly clearly to non-"pop", or non-"commercial." If those terms need for the specific context to be defined more narrowly, the poster needs to do that. But in most cases the context will point to the intended meaning.
I generally capitalize historic periods - Classical, Romantic, Baroque, Renaissance, etc. - to make the distinction clearer, but I don't really know if that's a generally accepted practice or just my idiosyncrasy.
