I didn't issue a Pull request before to give time for people to comment. I've made some improvements suggested by Pete Jemian, but I've not had much other feedback. The merge will be more problematic if we don't do it soon. Any comments?

I think “This is a very important use case” is implied by the fact that
it is the first purpose in the abstract. I’ve also added a reference to
the original NeXus paper in 1997, and to NeXpy in the .bib file (not in
the text yet).
The most substantive changes are
(i) shift NXdata description above NXmonitor, since it’s more
important.
(ii) make it clear that not all data in NXdata groups are linked.
(iii) describe the NXmonitor group, without apologizing for its
location in the NXentry groups (since I don’t feel an apology is
necessary, and it’s probably unwise when you are promoting the format).
This is the right place for, e.g., all pulsed neutron experiments.
In one case, “The HDF Group” was rendered as “T. H. Group”. Authors
like “cansas” are too poorly defined to be of use in an archived
journal.
The existing version did not, IMHO, give enough of an overview for a
new reader.
These are a few changes resulting from the comments by Pete Jemian. I
have restored a sentence about using basic HDF5 storage elements,
changed ‘peculiar’ to ‘particular’, modified the sentence on using NXDL
for validation, and added ‘according to context’ in the application
definition section.
Also, corrected ‘follows’ to ‘follow’ in the first sentence of the
Design Principles.
