Yep, we use the mimetype.

Yeah, something like this I thought as well. If there is already a topcontext 
with the given languagesupport plugin in a document, reuse that, just create 
another context or similar - depending if it's required.

Anyhow, the current limitation is _afaik_:

No support for "split" documents. Esp. considering on what contextForCursor 
should return or similar, we should think about adding something like that. I 
mean, language ranges don't have to overlap, and it might be nice if they 
wouldn't.

No, not stupid. The DUChain is complex and I think I finally know a few things 
here and there, but this is definitely not the level of everyone. Hence 
relocating to the list again.
