Perhaps you have been misinformed.

At one of the NIAC meetings in the last five years, we took an informal 
poll to discover which facilities use the NAPI to read/write NeXus data 
files.  "Less than half" was the result.  On testing data files for 
validity, many tested as valid.  I know of several instruments that have 
presented data files to me that have tested as valid against the current 
NXDL.  The software NeXpy now writes files based _solely_ on the 
structures specified in the NXDL.
