Our primary goal is to make sure that none of those scenarios crashes Sigil. But now that Sigil is no longer in the business of overhauling, reorganizing and correcting each and every epub it opens (every time it opens them), there are going to be epubs encountered that might be broken enough to cause problems. Sigil is no longer going to be the automagic fixer of every conceivable error that that some epub's creators have inflicted on them. At the very least, an error-free OPF is going to be pretty-much a pre-requisite for ensuring that epubs can be opened in a functioning/editable state.

So the goal is for Sigil to be able to open a potentially dud epub without crashing and then let you run the epubcheck so you can fix any OPF problems yourself?
If you (Diap, Kevin) are happy for me to report anything that doesn't work as expected, I'm happy if some of the responses are "fix the damn OPF, then see if there's still a problem".
And thanks again for all the work that goes in to this great editor.
