Thanks in advance to anyone who knows what this means and who can point me to a direction where I can learn more about it.

Apple means that the epub files must not report any errors when checked with epubcheck version 1.0.5. epubcheck is an open source, free, command-line program that checks the validity of the xml inside an epub.
If you set the metadata in Sigil, Sigil's output passes epubcheck 1.0.5, unless there's something weird going on in your XHTML files.
But you should certainly check yourselves. You can get epubcheck from
http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck/
and if you're on Mac, you can get a useful Applescript from here

which will let you do drag&drop validation, instead of mucking around on the command-line.
