Calibre accepts pretty much any file. OTOH, Sigil is more strict in its interpretation of standards.
Most likely Sigil expects a space and a dtd reference.

If you have hundreds of files that are formatted like this and are not averse to using a command line tool, you could install
sed and use the following one-line script with it:
Code:
# sed -f sigil.sed -i *.html
s/<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4\.01 Transitional\/\/EN">/<\?xml version="1\.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"\?>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD XHTML 1\.1\/\/EN"\n "http:\/\/www\.w3\.org\/TR\/xhtml11\/DTD\/xhtml11\.dtd">/g
I.e., install
sed*, save the above code as a
sigil.sed in the folder that contains the .html files that you want to modify. Then open a DOS prompt, navigate to the folder with the .html files and enter the following command:
Code:
sed -f sigil.sed -i *.html
This will change all doctype declarations to Sigil style doctype declarations. Since this command will overwrite the original files, you may want to create backup copies first.

If you have a Mac or a Linux machine you won't have to install sed.
