[Nexus] proposed additions to NXdata for non-linear scaling - to aid cbf interoperability

[Benjamin Watts]

Armando,
    I think you are missing the point about who would be "doing the 
work" for an NXformula. If we make it part of the standard, then 
everyone who wants to read NeXus files will need to include this 
feature. The people writing this software will also be "us". Therefore, 
including NXformula in Nexus must involve a commitment to implement it.

Cheers,
Ben
