2.For a very limited example: you could look at the interactive 
3D model that was inserted into the 2D-PDF paper in Nature back 
in January. (By Alyssa Goodman et al., published in the 1st 
January issue: 
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v457/n7225/) I know, not a 
3D publication, but something 3D in a publication !

4.Linking is, of course, the most basic 'multidimensional' aspect 
of Web publication.  There are 'articles' which make wider use of 
the multidimensional nature of the Web - see, for example, 
http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0000228.x001.  However, 
what I find interesting is that, despite this, their underlying 
form is still that dictated by the good old print medium!
