I have a feeling that this is the same as mirroring about a plane ?? If 
I look in a mirror (X Y plane) all Z-values are inverted, is it not ??

  Of course. Mirroring "in the direction of the x-axis" is the same thing
as "mirroring about the yz-plane". I just personally prefer to think about
it in the former way.

Interesting - does this mean French speaking Canadians and French speaking
.. French pronounce it differently?

While we're at it, how about Ballet and Fillet?  Most American's don't
pronounce that right at all, at least according to my French speaking Dutch
friends.  Never mind we American's probably learned to pronounce it from the
French that immigrated ...
