Thats simple: HTTP doesn't have a method to request the content of
multiple URLs in one step.
One would need to introduce additional non-base-HTTP methods to
support that (eg CalDAV does this with REPORTs), which is against the
idea of GroupDAV.
ZideLook just encodes multiple objects in a single URL, eg
PROPFIND /Calendar/10203_10238_12837_1277_19271
