Traditionally, the Accordion view is a single panel view. I guess I think of
having multiple views open at once, just a standard Tree view.
The issue I'm sure most of the Accordion plug-ins face is they are written
to specifically close the previously open panel and show the one you just
clicked in.
To open/close multiple panels, would probably be a shift in philosophy for
these plug-ins, as you know are just toggling the status of the current
item's visibility.
While this is not difficult (as a matter of fact you could probably write a
plug-in to do this in just a few lines of code,) it's just a different
problem than what most people are looking for in an "Accordion" plug-in.
