Desired Webserver Ability

Is it just me or wouldn't it be nice of web servers were capable of collating document fragments and sending them as a single document?

Example:

Dir:
/doc1.html.1
/doc1.html.2
/doc1.html.3

Request: blah.com/doc1.html

Deliver: The combination of the three files in order and use the most recent file time as the last modified header.

Sure you can do it in language X, but wouldn't it be nice for such a common scenario to just work out of the box?
