So is that HTML5 is stricter & richer than XHTML which is stricter than HTML4 ?

I have a (very) old personal web page built with Microsoft Front Page ( that dates it ! ) , full of crud code that you are not supposed to use any more. like tags for <big>, <font>, <center>...
Yes, html5 is still mostly html. Most things in html4 work ok as it supports CSS and Html 3 is worse as it did not. xhtml 1.1 does not violate html4 rules but requires things that are optional in html4. The big thrust in html5 is to support audio/video and fancy scripting. epub 2 does not support any of these constructs. Sigil is a good ePub 2 editor so using it will be fine.
