> We added a multiget REPORT to CalDAV (RFC4791) and CardDAV (RFC6352) which is used by clients when sync'ing a lot of resources (e.g., initial account setup). The one major criticism has been lack of cacheability of the individual resources included in the multiget.

The other major criticisms being:
a) content needs to be XML encoded
b) only allows for GETs, not for other operations

I'd also like to see a generic, HTTP-level BATCH request. Please lets not do 'just' an MGET.
