3D Splines

Hello everyone!
Has anyone messed with "bending" a 2d spline through the 3rd dimension?
Think of an S shaped spline on the XY plane with a smooth dip in the middle through the Z?
I couldn't get the geometry to work out with a spline and a curve point plane.
Thoughts?

I only know of 3 ways to generate 3D curves.
1) Intersect/split surfaces to create a smooth edge in 3D space. This is similar to creating a composite curve in SolidWorks, but you have to extrude the sketches yourself.
2) OS's 3D Spline FeatureScript will generate a 3D Spline (go figure) given a set of spline points (vertices or sketch points).
3) My Parametric Curve FeatureScript generates a curve from XYZ equations.
