The core theory of relativity is about times, positions, durations
and legths. The semantics of those are well understood by almost
everybody.

When relativity is used it is necessary to add whatever is needed
for the particular use. Often that includes electromagnetics. The
concepts of electromagnetics are not that generally known but are
well understood by many. Special Relativity does not require any
semantics other than what the topic area requires anyway.
