The title and language elements are required by epub specs. You add/edit/remove them using the metadata editor, or by editing the opf file manually (note that it's not currently possible to edit epub3 metadata with the gui editor).
We're (Sigil) not discouraging the use creation of epub3. That's why we're trying to add more and more epub3 support all the time. Currently, though (v0.9.2), only the very simplest of edits can be made to existing epub3s--and none can be created. We hope to add the creation of, and much more in the way of editing (epub3) with the very next release.
Please note that Flightcrew is limited to validating epub2-only. You'll want to use EpubCheck for epub3 (and epub2) validation.
@jswolf: please don't assume that people don't understand the ramifications of epub3 vs epub2. And please refrain from using questions like this to try and advance your already well-noted anti-epub3 stance. Thanks.
