Comment(by Mark Koennecke):

 I looked into this some more. The trouble is that we need two different
 axes for different use cases:

 data[x,y], signal=1, axes=x,y
 x[x]
 y[y]

 is nicest for easy slicing and plotting.

 data[x,y]
 x[x,y]
 y[x,y]

 is what you need for careful data analysis.

 This being a conflict between different use cases it became clear to me
 that all solutions will suck in some way. Here is my newest suggestions
 which favours easy plotting but still enabling
 full DA:

      data:NXdata
            data[x,y], signal=1, axes=x,y, axesvalues=x_scan,y_scan
            x[x]
            y[y]
            x_scan[x,y]
            y_scan[x,y]

 With x,y holding the theoretical values for the scan, x_scan, y_scan the
 "true" ones  for each
 point.
