Is this true? Pretty weird if it is...

"In solo work or with other groups, Jimmy Page would not let anyone but Robert Plant sing this, but he does play it as an instrumental on occasion."

No one has sung the song with Jimmy other than Robert. Jimmy played an instrumental version on most nights of this Outrider Tour in 1988, and at the ARMS shows.

Correct but Songfacts twists this to mean "Jimmy Page would not let anyone but Robert Plant sing this". IMHO if the 2008 rehearsals with Myles Kennedy had lead to a tour there's little doubt he'd have sung it at every show.

To Jimmy STH was their band most representative song where Robert thinks KASHMIR is. I'm in the Jimmy camp.

Just heard a cd of Zeppelin playing the song for the first time with drums (probably Island Studios) and they sounded excited and you can hear them saying that they want to hear the playback asap.
