Oh wow, this doc is a complete piece of shit. I finally figured it out the relationship between setxkbmap and xkeyboard-config thanks to the lines you gave. It would be sooo enlightening to have a few EXAMPLES in setxkbmap(1) that does explain how xkeyboard-config(7) actually works. Last time I looked, I thought I need to create my own description that would be compiled through xkbcomp(1), that's how misleading this so called "documentation" is. Thank you Anthony!
