Feel free to add custom semantics, but only you will know about them, because ereaders certainly won't.

If I edit the AWZ3 version by adding reference type="other.quickref", then it shows up in the Kindle reader under the GoTo menu
1. It seems if the ePub OPF contains this
Code:
<guide>
<reference type="text" title="Start Reading Here" href="start.xhtml"/>
<reference type="other.quickref" title="QuickRef Table" href="next.html#Table_of_Data"/>
</guide>
<
2. Converting to AZW3 generates this, but throws away the type="other"
Code:
<guide>
<reference type="text" href="text/part0000.html" title="Start Reading Here"/>
<reference type="cover" href="images/00001.jpeg"/>
<reference type="other.ms-coverimage-standard" href="images/00001.jpeg"/>
<reference type="other.ms-coverimage" href="images/00001.jpeg"/>
</guide>
3. If I manually add this to the guide section in the AZW3
Code:
<reference type="other.quickref" href="text/part0001.html#Table_of_Data" title="Quick Ref Table"/>
4. Then it shows up in the Kindle GoTo list (screen shot)
I really prefer to stay in the epub format for editing and convert if required (even if I had to enter type="other. " things manually)
It seems to me from my side of the keyboard, that the EPUB-to-AZW3 throws away the type="other" <guide> references.
It would be very handy if
a. The [Set Semantics] options would allow you to enter type="other.something"
b. The conversion process didn't throw such things away
