As far as I understand, the current behaviour of
treesit-parser-set-included-ranges is that the concatenation of text
from different regions in the same range set is considered as one
program. This means that for this html program
<html>
<script>
/* comment start
</script>
<script>
alert('hello');
</script>
</html>
treesitter would consider "alert('hello');" to be inside a comment and
the second script tag would contain an error about missing comment
end.
However, testing this in Firefox, it seems that the first script tag is
the erroneous one here and the alert function call isn't inside a
comment. So I guess the correct way to parse this html document would be
to have two instances of javascript parser, one for each region. On the
other hand, we should consider if this is worth the added complexity and
performance degradation.
Thanks and best regards.

Yeah it makes sense, but as you say the isolation comes at a cost and I
don’t know if it can be justified right now, because the complexity in
assinging different parsers for each range which can disappear/appear as
the user edits the buffer. Plus the current framework kind of assumes
one parser for each language, so we need some non-trivial change to make
"one parser per range" work smoothly.
For now, I think it’s best to just turn off error highlighting and rely
on tree-sitter’s error recovery. I think that’s what everybody else
does.
In the future if we make the framework more flexible and makes "one
parser per range" easier to implement we can try adding support for it.
