A fairly broad statement. Are you sure that the source you're bringing into Sigil is error-free and that Sigil is the one introducing problems?

Here's something I've noted during the last two years of Sigil development: when someone complains that Sigil is the one introducing validation errors into their source files, it is practically always either:
  1. a result of user error;
  2. a result of user ignorance;
  3. just plain false;
  4. all of the above.
Then again, if you can produce a test case that consistently makes Sigil introduce validation errors, feel free to create an issue about it on the tracker. And I say this without even the tiniest shred of sarcasm: I'd truly love to see it.

But do bear in mind that the number of such reported issues that are not a result of one of the four things listed above is very, very small.

In any case, making broad statements along the lines of "Sigil invalidates my epub files so you need to be careful" is, at the very least, unproductive.
