Which feature? There are various.
Most of the "multiline font locking" features are aimed at solving the
situation were a single font-lock rule can match a chunk of text that
spans several lines (e.g. putting a bold font on text within
"\textbf{...}").
For your case (of highlighting the CSS or Javascript part of an HTML
buffer), I think that a "multi-major-mode" approach is more promising,
tho this is an even harder problem to solve than mere multiline
font locking.
