I've since discovered this thread:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=206894

Seems the problem has been around for a long time.

I wasn't aware that CSS 2.1 was supposedly 'closer' to the epub 2 standard than CSS 3. That seems crazy, but then I'm new to epub (but not to CSS). Does the epub standard specify a specific level of CSS? I was using CSS like font-family and font-style and font-weight on websites an aeon ago, so it is interesting to see that CSS 2.1 regards these as errors. But I can't believe that epub doesn't like them. Clearly Sigil needs to specify CSS 3 or have it unspecified. Why was CSS 2.1 specified at all, when these things aren't even an error in CSS 2.0?
