you are blaming Calibre for choking on a a file with a defect
( XMLSyntaxError: Char 0x0 out of allowed range, line 21, column 50 (line 21) ) << FWIW that is a NUL, and has no useful purpose in any ebook

It is a fairly well known fact that many render engines tolerate some defects (because they are so stupidly common

), including the viewer used with Calibre or Sigil. Which is the reason we tell folk VALIDATE to EPUB standards and not rely on 'it worked in Calibre'
