Not really, a replica is most of the time also a mirror. The exception
is when you have two way replication of information and neither of the
replicas is the authoritive origin, but I haven't yet seen this model
actively used in web services.
For the taxonomy draft it may be sufficient to define mirror in the
broader concept.
When discussing the actual transfer of information the situaction gets a
bit more complicated.
