If i understand this correctly, then another possible solution could 
lie in upgrading the current Browsers/Servers to handle "MIME multipart" 
messages within the same GET request. You could now easily transport 
multiple files with one request. Each part of the "mutipart" msg could 
easily be a "Content-type: text/html", "Content-type: image/gif", 
"Content-type: audio/basic", etc....
