Yes. IF I knew to look on line 434. Calibre tells me that. Sigil doesn't.
I simplified the example. Plenty of times when I'm cleaning up some awful converted file I've waste minutes searching up and down the file through a forest of redundant nested codes looking for one orphaned tag.
I'm sure Sigil knows where it is, I want it to tell me where the start tag is and not just that the end tag isn't in the file.

Sigil editor doesn't change CSS by itself.
If you have HTMLTidy active, it probably would. That's why people who edit code themselves never use it.
(Edit/preferences/Clean Source -- Pretty print just makes cosmetic changes (white space) and is quite safe. The full on HTMLTidy rewrites your code.)
One of the first things I do when I get a file is convert any CSS italic, bold spans to <i> and <b> using Diap's Editing Toolbag
