Hm.  As I understand syndication & mirroring, the difference between the two is
the first presents other's content or services in your context, whilst the
latter presents the other's content or services "as if" it were that site.

If we were simply using ZEO as per normal, I would agree that it is mirroring. 
However, I believe that if the client mounts the database as a subobject in
their ZODB, they can then present all of the content in whatever form they
choose (assuming we've structured the data right).  This is what makes me call
it "syndication" rather than "mirroring".
