"Semantics" is just Sigil parlance. I'm not a Sigil user, so I don't know for sure, but I'd say that for Sigil, "semantics" is like saying what kind of element you want: a cover, a TOC, a copyright statement... those have specific "type" values that must be used. On the other hand, the "title" can be whatever you want (it's optional, moreover), and Sigil should provide a way to change it, if it doesn't yet (if not for other reasons, to allow elements to be named in different languages).

I don't see that kindlegen does much to change things whereas Calibre apparently makes major changes.

At least Calibre is open-source, and it's code can be inspected and modified if needed. What I meant is that after converting with KindleGen (or anything else, for that matter) to Mobi, the book can look quite differently: embedded fonts are not supported, there are no floats or right margins, things made invisible with "display: none" may appear again, etc. This kind of thing is contrary to a "WYSIWYG" editor.
