error in linking stylesheets

Tried to link stylesheet to list.xhtml and got this error. The file was imported, if that makes a difference.

list.xhtml is missing its xhtml namespace declaration. Put that in and you will be fine. However, edit book should automatically catch the case of valid XML with no namespace declaration, which will be in the next release.

Yes, that fixed it. Funny, though -- I'd've thought fix/beautify should catch that? Check Book didn't notice it either.

Maybe that is also why an azw3 conversion could not track the stylesheet, and once packaged in azw3 structure still tried to link to the old location I manually put in?
