There doesn't seem to be any need for this, and nothing I require.

> Add support for multipart/related encoded entity bodies.
> There is support already for binary encoding also but not multipart  -- operations with application/octet-stream encoding are limited to single KVs. 
> Multipart/related is not necessarily efficient. Timestamps and column names would be sent as X-headers mixed between the binary blobs, and the part headers and border adds more overhead. The only reason to support it is if someone cannot use protobufs as an alternative to XML.
