What about:

 ;;; mmm.el --- Multiple Major Modes for XEmacs
 [...]
 ;;; Commentary:
 
 ;; This file implements a XEmacs lisp extension that allows multiple
 ;; major modes to co-exist in a single buffer. It's a workable, yet
 ;; imperfect, solution that basically supports key bindings and
 ;; font-lock in those regions with a secondary major mode. To
 ;; activate one secondary major mode, simply add a hook to the
 ;; primary major mode's hook.  For details, see defun
 ;; `mmm-activator'.

I remember seeing you comment positively on this, but haven't used it 
myself.

The example "secondary major mode" Gongquan Chen is providing is
 
 ;;; mmm-html.el --- Enabling CSS/Javascript/VBScript modes in HTML mode
