While playing with this I found a bug. Line numbers in htmlxref.cnf may
not be correctly reported.
I created a file under a top-level test directory, then linked htmlxref.cnf
with "ln -s ../util/htmlxref.cnf .".
I then edited htmlxref.cnf to see what happens for an unknown "type":
diff --git a/util/htmlxref.cnf b/util/htmlxref.cnf
index da6d86314e..1dd3ee345d 100644

Running texi2any on a test file, with:
$ ../tta/perl/texi2any.pl test.texi --html --no-split
I get the error messages:

The lines 73 and 74 are correct, but 874, 1675, etc. are completely wrong.
I note that the edition of htmlxref.cnf I am using has exactly 801 lines
so it is as if the line counter for htmlxref.cnf is not reset when a new
file is read.
