The philosophical answer: RESTful HTTP doesn't have semantics to support BATCH operations. There has been conversations in the IETF about supporting a BATCH method, but it hasn't really gone anywhere. For servers that support HTTP pipelining you can issue multiple asynchronous GET requests, but I don't think this is what your really have in mind.
The more practical solution: GDATA has an implementation of BATCH processing using POST based upon AtomPub. Its completely non-standard but you could potentially implement the protocol on top of RESTlet.
