Andreas, I thinks that's the direction I'm going to take. I've been getting some assistance on the mapserver users list. I originally hit some issues with filter BBOX but I have that resolved now.
Many thanks.

WFS supports multiple type names in one request, and so does e.g. GeoServer: http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.1.0&REQUEST=GetFea ture&TYPENAME=layer1,layer2 You can provide this as download link directly, without OpenLayers involved.
