I agree that this probably means that web elements that are 'flat' would be 
styled by CSS with a depth.  This is important if other material presented to 
the user really is stereo (e.g. a left/right eye coded movie).  The movie will 
be set so that the eyes are expected to have a certain 'convergence' (i.e. they 
are looking slightly inward towards some point) and it's important that if 
material is overlaid on that. it has the same convergence.  Obviously, this is 
unlike the real world where focus distance and convergence distance are the 
same (focus distance is fixed at the screen distance), but the brain can get 
very confused if two things that are both in focus are at difference 
convergence distances.

This is not a simple question, as I expect you are beginning to realize.
