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.
