There should be a way to select multiple elements in order to: - copy them into clipboard - delete them at a time - edit matching properties ?

This barely makes sense, as DOM tree is not a plain data list with multiselection. Consider this tree: <div> <p>..</p> <a href="...">..</a> </div> Does selecting DIV and P at the same time make any sense? What should happen when you try to (a) copy this multiselection into a clipboard, (b) delete them? Depending on the user, the case (b) might imply that they don't want to delete the A element. Is that right and/or intuitively correct? On a sidenote, Firebug does not allow multiselections in its DOM tree either.
