How large is the scope of seniority?

#discuss

When talking about a "Senior Developer", how far can seniority go, considering the questions below:

Will a Frontend Developer still be senior if put in the role of a Backend Developer?

Is there such a thing as "Java Senior Developer" or ".NET Senior Developer"?

Can a Senior Developer in a specific team change to a completely different company, dealing with a completely different domain, using a different technology and still be called senior?
