[SI-LIST] : Differential Reflection Question

In the High Speed Digital Design book and in a few other places it
states the percent reflection caused by a difference in impedance is:

%Reflection=(Z1-Z2)/(Z1+Z2)

This formula is typically used to calculate the reflection of a single
line referenced to a ground plane. Does this formula also apply to
differential/balanced lines where two lines carry one signal?
