Sorry Doitsu, not sure what you mean by GIGO. I'm not talking about TOC generation, I'm talking about the uid that is genersted the first time you do a file split in Sigil. That 32 char uid is automatically generated by Sigil. This fault is hit and miss since Sigil's uid generator will generate a uid that can start with either an alpha or a numeric character. This should really be fixed and changed so that Sigil's uid generator generates uid's that start with only alpha characters on a file split. And that's why this problem is a Sigil problem(which isn't helped much by EpubCheck's crappy and misleading error messaging).
