ODT -> Epub odd css behaviour

I've been converting a few ODT files I have to EPUB using Calibre.

One oddity I noted was that in at least one book the HTML in one chapter pointed to the stylesheets at :

Code:
<link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<link href="page_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
While the remainder (correctly) pointed to :

Code:
<link href="../Styles/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<link href="../Styles/page_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
Needless to say the first chapter wasn't being correctly styled.

The "wrong" chapter also had an xml declaration :
Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
while all the others had :

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Although whether this is significant I don't know.

The original ODT is straightforward text separated by Chapter headers (formatted as "Heading 1") to ensure a proper TOC and the EPUB split by chapters.

Once I had spotted the errors it was easy to correct them with Sigil but is there anything I could be doing that would cause the errors in the first place ?
