*** June/July 2012 Lite Challenge: Fun with Isometrics ***

Here's the Wikipedia article on isometric projection for anyone who isn't familiar with exactly what it is. It is often confused with other axonometric projections, oblique projections, or bird's eye perspective, but they are not the same thing.

Strictly 100% my personal opinion, but I think that you are being too literal ... any axonometric projection would be acceptable (or even a 1 to 3 point perspective).
The intent is more for any non-orthographic view than a specific projection system.
(of course, the voters ultimately decide the rules and the winner.)

I'm not sure how you can be "too literal" with a word that formal math/technical jargon. If the challenge is about birds eye views, or axonometric, or parallel projections in general or something else that is broader than isometric, then it should say so rather than misusing a word that has a specific technical meaning. It's not like we don't actually have words for these other things.

I'm not saying that the challenge shouldn't be about birds eye views, just that if it is, then it should say so.

Also, isometric is an orthographic projection, you can't have a non-orthographic isometric projection.
