Sigil should allow you to create standards compliant ePub files. If Kindlegen can't handle conforming ePubs then that's not Sigil's problem. If your goal is to create Amazon (mobi, kf8, tpz...) then you shouldn't be using Sigil and you should be complaining to Amazon for not providing something like Sigil for their formats. Sigil is a dedicated tool for a dedicated purpose, making ePubs.

Again, why should I care about a proprietary format that is subject to change at any moment. A format produced by a company for use on their proprietary hardware or in their proprietary reading software and no where else. Especially when the company won't provide any information about how to properly create or even read this format.
