Does having separate TopDUContexts imply you can't have duchain stuff
that crosses languages? (I have little clue about duchain internals)

I think someone may reasonably want to share declarations across
languages. For example, document.getElementById("foo") could be a use
of <div id="foo">. Similarly, document.getElementById(<Ctrl-Space>
could list elements in the container HTML document.
