One requirement for 3D is that the third dimension of points is honoured 
in reprojections and spatial operations. 2.5D is IMO when a third 
dimension is carried along for the ride but ignored for operations and 
reprojections. We have some tested 3D support for POINT and LINESTRING 
including reprojection and 3D WFS BBOX, but only on Oracle 11g with SC4O 
and on PostGIS 2. See the discussions here in the context of app-schema:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/programming-guide/app-schema/index.html#d-tests

Solids and TINs are AFAIK not yet supported.

One of the underlying problems is that there is not yet any 3D 
equivalent of the Java Topology Suite (JTS) used for 2D geometric 
calculations. I think there might have been some mention recently of a 
project, but I do not know anything about it.

Kind regards,
