I thought/hoped to have clarified that this is a nogo.

Think for example about this:

<?php // <script> NOT JAVSCRIPT BUT A PHP COMMENT </script> ?>

Or what about this:

<!-- <style> NOT CSS BUT A HTML COMMENT </style> -->

As you see, the child language would need to know about the lexical analysis 
of _every_ superseeding language. This is really a no-go, since it means lots 
of duplicated code and lots of maintanance effort.
