Thanks for your work !

For what it's worth, I also think that:
- semantics-version (or maybe pyproject-version ? to mimic the
Wheel-Version of the WHEEL file) should be a top level value;
- [build-system]
requires = ["setuptools", "wheel"]
reads nicely and better than [package.build-system]

Xavier
