So now I'm not sure: is an epub OK if it passes epubcheck or is it just "tolerable?

Sigil does not fill all the metadata automatically.
Simply opening the Metadata editor and saving, seems to fill the "gaps" that Flightcrew finds.
There is a odd message about files that are "Reachable", but not in the manifest that have no line or filename.
If fact, I have found, these are references
in files to other files that
do not exist in real life nor in the manifest. (Sigil
may (it may ,also have been malformed before the split) have caused them to be a problem by not adjusting the reference properly when split
Code:
"../Text/#fooanchor"
. Note. No filename.ext
I would interpert "Reachable" to mean the Reference exists, but is not in the Manifest.
