My parsing tool (semantic, referenced earlier) solved some problems w/
lots of mode-specific configurations via 'mode-local' variables and
methods. David Ponce wrote this, and suggested it here once before.
I don't recall what the end resolution was on it.
A multi-mode style thing would likely be simplified if key behaviors
were all defined via mode-local configurations, as that would allow
the multi-mode manager to get a complete query list of all
configuration differences without running the major-mode function.
http://cedet.cvs.sourceforge.net/cedet/cedet/common/mode-local.el?view=log
This tools has a spiff macro `with-mode-local', which lets you run a
bunch of code as if some other mode were active. This is used in our
grammar file so we can operate on grammar syntax w/ lisp syntax mixed
in. We can also operate on tags from other buffers by momentarily
using features of the originating major-mode.
Enjoy
