Since I'm (somewhat) a moron (or, as some of you may know, teh sux0rz), i'd like to make a point clear: there is no such thing as iso-2D, this is a language abuse. The isometric word refers to a projection of a 3D world to a 2D representation. Its goal is to preserve distances (modulo a scaling factor).

iso-2D doesn't have a real meaning - projecting 2D to 2D in a way that will preserve distance is commonly known as scaling :)

(now, stop kicking me in the face with your feet, it hurts :D)

Regards,

Iso-2D, and Iso-3D would mean 2 different things, and are examples of language Change. they refer to the 'view' the users sees, and how the view is generated. 2D Looks 3d, but is done totaly with 2D files, where as 3D takes a 3D model, and flattens it onto a 2D screen.

The term is 'correct' but 'incorrect', depending on who you are. :P understanding win.
