 {{{
 > NXguide and NXmirror look a lot alike.  Almost identical.  I'm editing
 > NXmirror now based on feedback from the DESY workshop last month.
 >
 > There are two TRAC tickets that apply as well:
 > http://trac.nexusformat.org/definitions/ticket/41  NXguide
 > http://trac.nexusformat.org/definitions/ticket/45  NXmirror
 >
 >   From my limited point of view, NXguide is redundant. If you agree, we
 > should consider deprecating or removing it.  However if you object to
 > that proposition, please take on the job of providing much better
 > documentation, especially the initial documentation string that now
 > reads "Template of NXguide".
 >
 > Now that parts of the manual are generated from the NXDL files, we
 > should add documentation into the NXDL files appropriate to each defined
 > item.  NXguide is a case in point.
