Currently there are implementations allowing multiple file upload without the need for flash or java applets.
What doesn't seem to be there, unless a java applet is used (haven't come across one using flash) is the multiple file download. Even Google Docs uses a zip file to download multiple files. Was wondering if this could be made part of the standard. If something like resource packages <http://limi.net/articles/resource-packages/> were used, the server would still be sending one file which could be heavily compressed, letting the UA to decompress and display as if a bunch of files had been downloaded separately. /J
