REST all and collection resource conventions

Users of ehcache server have been discussing extending the basic CRUD operations of REST with some more advanced methods, such as deleting all elements in a cache with one DELETE operation.
You are most welcome to join what has become an informative forum thread here: https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2546225&forum_id=322278
So far we have posts from myself, Jim Webber, Brett Dargan and others interested in creating or finding a REST convention for referring to all and specifying means of multi-get, multi-put and multi-delete.
