good call!!, i was reading this and thinking what the..
a 3d dwf is published straight of a model, (i think you'll find your file size is way smaller than a 3d pdf).
For an animated 3d dwf straight out of an ipn file (see attached), and a multi paged dwf, (which ironically i then turn into a multi page pdf, (because the world is stupid), its a real shame autodesk lost the dwf vs pdf war, rember the dwf push a few years back with the devo song, whip it, was it the song people didnt like?, i personally didnt mind devo, Anyways hopefully, when vista speeds up little, everyone will now be able to view native dwfs without having to download ( which some people must have a phobia about or just cant quite work it out,)
Just to point out a few handy things that dwfs have, mass properties of each part, part no, cost, what ever the hell you want, then your client (if they have design review, can measure mark up and send back any changes all within the one tiny file, parts can be cross sectioned turned transparant on off etc... hell you can even get romantic and change the lighting.
one day people will wake up to dwf, dwf it good.
Stefan.
