His logic is sound, but I fear that logic is predicated on faulty (or invalid) data: namely that Sigil can't (or doesn't) produce "good" epub2s. Sigil can be used (right now) to produce perfectly valid and spec-compliant epub2s. So I fail to see why it (Sigil) needs to focus on "fixing" its epub2 output before moving on to adding epub3 support.
The fact that Sigil allows a user the latitude to create/save a non-spec-compliant epub isn't really relevant. In fact, if anything, it's a positive in my book. Many devices/apps out there have non-spec quirks. And while idealistic wishes for a non-proprietary epub-creation ecosystem filled with scapel-like tools that can be easily integrated into professional workflows is admirable, some people just want to make their epubs look the way they want on their devices. Skreutzer's goals are just not perfectly aligned with Sigil's, that's all. And that's OK in my opinion.
