Seems the subject is being slightly over-complicated in this thread!
The day you say it, the following week, the previous week, etc. doesn't matter at all. All that matters is reference to that specific occurance of the week.
For example: next wednesday means the wednesday after THIS wednesday, regardless of if it's "next week" or not.
So M, T, W, Th, F, Sat, Sun...any day of the week and This Wednesday is the closest Wednesday to your current day, and Next Wednesday is the wednesday following that one.
Saying "Next wednesday" is the wednesday of the next week isn't applicable in every situation; saying that next wednesday is the wednesday following the closest wednesday <I>is</I> applicable in every situation.
