Dimensions are used extensively with XBRL; which is used for modeling financial data - both narrative and monetary. You can view one example in the proposed updated 2011 US GAAP Financial Reporting Taxonomy here - http://tiny.cc/hiwio, which currently includes several hundred hypercubes. Just about all of the ELRs include one or more hypercubes. A good example of a hypercube with several axis can be found at element "DerivativeInstrumentsGainLossByHedgingRelationshipByIncomeStatementLocation ByDerivativeInstrumentRiskTable". This particularly hypercube includes 3 axis. A company that makes this disclosure may not model it with the 3 axis in one hypercube but the option is there. Current examples of the prior taxonomy in use can be found on the SEC website. A good listing and starting point is here - http://edgardashboard.xbrlcloud.com/. Personally, I think being able to view multi-dimensional information in 3D would be very useful and powerful. J.

How can XML expand to 3 dimensions? unsure what you mean, e.g. are you suggesting some 'dimension axis' or perhaps you want to represent in xml 3 dimensions (svg prob has some good examples of this along with a host of other markup languages).
