So not a Sigil issue then. Thanks for tracking it down JSWolf. Will someone alert the new maintainer of this plugin?

FWIW ...

I did not see any license on modify epub plugin page in the calibre plugins forum but downloaded the code and looked at it and it seems to be all GPL V3. So anyone could adopt it. There is a jacket.py file that would need to check the container type (epub2 or epub3) and prepend the correct doctype to the jacket_data before writing it.

Should be very easy to do for someone familiar with calibre's plugin interface.
