 /**
  * Handler class for XY close approach between _geometryB and another geometry.
- * * Approach means the distance between _geometryB and another geometry.
- * * **NOTE:** GeometryQuery input (_geometryB) should really be AnyCurve.
+ * * Approach means the XY distance (z is ignored) between _geometryB and another geometry.
  * * Closest approach is a measure of the proximity of one curve to another. It's the length of the shortest line
  * segment perpendicular to both curves; if the curves intersect, the closest approach is zero. In the context of
  * this class, z-coordinates are ignored, so the closest approach is as seen in the top view. If you have coplanar
- * input curves, rotate them first into a plane parallel to the xy-plane, then afterward, you should rotate the
- * results back as required.
+ * input curves and want to find closest approach in their plane, rotate them first into a plane parallel to the
+ * xy-plane, then afterward, rotate the results back as required.
+ * * Close approach can also be from a curve endpoint perpendicular to another curve or from a curve endpoint to
+ * another curve endpoint.
  * * Instances are initialized and called from CurveCurve.
  * * geometryB is saved for later reference.
