Use Sigil's Reformat HTML menu to Mend ALL HTML files to add in the missing xhtml attribute xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" to each html tags in all of your xhtml files.

Apple uses Epubcheck, so even though others haven't flagged the errors, the errors are indeed there. So it's best to validate your epubs before you upload them to any distributor. There's an Epubcheck plug-in for Sigil, or you can download Epubcheck to your computer.
