If you follow the links on that page, it appears that all the projects 
other than jing are abandoned.  Even jing has a very sporadic release 
history (2015 -> 2018 -> 2022).  Last year at FOSDEM I gave a talk about 
the state of the DocBook toolchain [0], where I found that there is 
pretty much no tooling available for Relax-NG.  So it's great that there 
is a 2022 release of jing, but before we can consider relying on that, 
it might be nice to see a bit more of a track record.  (And we should 
also wait a little to make it trickle in stable packages for common 
operating systems.)
